Pregnancy test to be done

A missed period over a week past your expected date is a good reason to check for pregnancy now. A home urine pregnancy test using your first morning urine is accurate at this stage.
Next Steps
If the test is positive, book a gynaecology consult to confirm and plan your first scan. If it's negative and your period still doesn't start in a few days, please get a blood test done.
