Hi,
The earliest a positive pregnancy test can be detected is 8-11 days after ovulation. Blood test is preferred at this time as it is more sensitive and reliable than urine pregnancy test.

You do have symptoms suggestive of pregnancy. But these symptoms are not specific to pregnancy. These symptoms do occur before a period also.
Now that your period is 2 days late you can do a urine pregnancy test today. It should usually be positive if you are pregnant.

I hope I have answered your concerns.
