Hello dear
I understand your concern
As you did sex in the fertile phase of the period, there is high chance of the pregnancy.
Pregnancy test will give positive result 8-10 days after the missed the period.
So I will advise you to repeat the test once your period is delayed by the 8-10 days.
Do urine pregnancy test with early overnight first morning urine sample.
You can also go for blood HCG test. It will detect the pregnancy earlier then urine pregnancy test and more accurate.
Hope this may help you
