Hi,
Withdrawal method has a high failure rate when compared to the use of condoms and other methods. Based on your menstrual history, your cycle has been varying for a week and if this date has been surpassed, you should test for pregnancy. You may take a HPT with afresh early morning sample of urine or go for the blood test along with a trans-vaginal sonogram to confirm/exclude pregnancy. Hope this helps. Take care.
