Do not be: If you had sex since your last period, and missed your period by 4-5 days, do home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. If you have any concern, get a blood test for HCG level. Wish you good health!
