am i pregnant?

i am 5 days late for my period and i am having no signs of starting any time soon. my cervical mucus is white and kind of slimy. i want to test but i am thinking about waiting it out to see if i really start. im not sure what to do. i have googled everything so many times but still no help XD. extra info: i am often sexually active. i take no birth control. and my periods are generally normal with maybe a 1 day difference. is there a possibility i am pregnant? or could it be just my imagination?
