It is recommended to take a pregnancy test starting from the first day of your expected period. If you are experiencing a delay of 5 days and are sexually active, it may be a good idea to take a test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. A delay in menstruation can sometimes occur due to various factors such as illness, stress, or changes in routine. If the test is negative, it is advised to repeat it every 3 days until you either get a positive result or your period starts. If your cycle significantly lengthens compared to usual and the tests remain negative, it is best to consult a doctor.
