How Accurate Is The Home Pregnancy Test? When Should I Take It? Delayed Periods, Areola Getting Bigger

Hi. I'm Sarah. I'm 17 years old and have recently had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago. No , he did not ejaculate in me but I know pre ejaculation is possible. It seems as if my areolas have gotten bigger and darker but I may just be paranoid. Also I'm a week late for my period , are there any homeade pregnancy test that I can possibly make and how accurate is it. I urinated in a container with toothpaste and it did not turn blue , so what does that mean ? Please help me and I am not able to buy a pregnancy test right now. I think my period could be late because of stress but I don't know. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The home pregnancy tests are 97% accurate. You can take the test if your periods are overdue by more than 5 days. Do get a highly sensitive test kit from your nearest pharmacy.
