How long would you wait until deciding your period is "late late" (as in your pregnant) instead of just late?

My periods are irregular so I wait like 2 weeks before I test. Unless I am on clomid, then I start testing the day before I miss my period.

My test didn't show positive until I was about 3 weeks late (which, I already had a hunch I was pregnant and was just happy the period hadn't shown up). So...I'd just wait like 3 weeks again if it was me.

My tubes are tied, so it's not something I time.  It would probably take me a month to notice if I didn't get it the previous month, lol.  Then I'd be really ticked off.

It's because 4 days have passed (I know, that's very little) and my period still hasn't come knocking at the door. I have a feeling I am pregnant but I can't be to sure. I took a test and it said not pregnant. Then my mom comes telling me she didnt know she was pregnant of my sister because she got her period up until 6 months and also she noticed her belly getting bigger and my sister used to take pregnancy test with her first one and they would all come out not pregnant. I really hate the wait. Time seems to pass by so slow. :(

I would wait a week. If AF hasn't shown up then test. If the test comes out negative and AF still isn't there then I would go see my doctor for a blood test.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks that. These are the days I wish I was always at work to be distracted.

First day of the second missed period, so about 4 weeks after missing a period. I go to my dr for the test, because I don't trust home tests and my OB/GYN offers free pregnancy tests for anyone who walks in and asks for one, patient or not.

I'd wait a week - full 7 days.
