So how long is long enough to wait when your period is “late”, at what point do you say it’s time to take a test? Is there like a certain amount of time when it’s no longer “late” and is something more. Trying to figure out how to say this more simply 😂😂 How many days can a period be late before it’s considered missed? (Hope this makes sense) haha
