Hi,
You can wait a maximum of 45 days from last menstrual cycle. Your history says it is 19 days late & you haven't mentioned about any HPT done to confirm the pregnancy. I advise you to do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT, also do a USG pelvis to rule pregnancy or it's retained products if any. Consult your gynaecologist for further assistance.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
