Hello!
You need to wait for atleast 5 days after expected period date depending on whether her cycles are regular or not. Urine pregnancy test is sufficient. However a serum beta hcg test may give better clarity when in doubt.
Take care!

After 14 days of unprotected intercourses you can do a pregnancy test with morning sample fasting sample urine
Next Steps
Take Regular contraceptive pill like Dronis . Avoid emergency pills as they cause irregular periods and hormone dis balance

Serum beta hcg blood test is accurate to diagnose pregnancy.
Do the test 2-3days after ur missed period if you have regular cycles.
If ur cycles are irregular do the test 2 weeks after unprotected Intercourse.
Delayed period can also be due to unwanted 72.
