Yes - waiting is ok.: Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; over-exercising (endurance athletics), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives ; other meds, illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems (i.e., pcos). Pregnancy is #1 reason.

It's ok.: If you are not having pain, fever or concerns of sexual transmitted infection it is ok to wait to see the ob. Your menses can be late for multiple reasons. However if you are having severe pain you should go to the er immediately.
