My period is 8 days late. i'm not on birthday control . i'm ttc, if i were to be pregnant would my hormone leave be high enough for a home preg test?

Yes, do the test: Hi. Yes, you're over a week out from a missed period. That is long enough. If you're preggers (and there's a good chance you are), your test will be positive. Congratulations and good luck!

Yes: most home-pregnancy tests are sensitive enough to detect pregnancy a week after a missed period.
