Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

You are not yet late based on previous cycles, but past cycle length is only suggestive, not predictive. If you are concerned about pregnancy a home test could already be positive, but if it is negative and your period doesn't come then repeat it in a week.
