Hello,

You can have your period up to 10 days before or after your actual date. So you don't need to worry as the delay is very much normal. You can wait for 1 more week and then you can go for urine pregnancy test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
