Delayed periods

2025-04-07 09:25:59
I'm 5 days late for my periods (my usual date is 1st of every month) I've had a history of irregular periods, and saw spotting just a day before but no proper periods have started. My last period started on 1st March till 6th March. I'm married and sexually active but with protection only as we're not planning yet. Should I wait or take a test?
