Wait longer... It won't work from what I remember... If its a few days late its fine, it happens... But if its 1-3 weeks late you have a problem.
 
Ok I think I'm pregnant as of 2 weeks ago, and my periods already two days late... I just had unpretected sex and I was planing on taking the pregnantcy test today. Wil this affect my answer or not? Also should I wash myself before I take the test?
 
no because you don't pee out of your vagina. having semen up in there doesn't really affect the test at all. the test only tests for hcG in your system. the semen won't bother it at all. unless it's dripping out of you in an annoying way I wouldn't bother washing off. by all means take a test right now. it won't affect your answer.
 
It's best if you take the test first thing in the morning so the hcg hormone is more concentrated. If you take the test mid-day, especially if you've just drank a lot of water, it could give you a false negative because the hcg hormone has been diluted. Take the test in the morning with your first urine of the day... and no, you don't have to wash yourself first.
