Weird question?

Lacey

I’m not really sure if this is actually a thing, but is there any certain days past ovulation in a month that you shouldn’t bother to test until the following? I tested 4 days before my missed period and got a negative, and now I’m 8 days late and haven’t tested again. If my period is just late and I’m not pregnant, how many days past ovulation should I know that it’s just my period? Sorry if this sounds dumb, just came to mind :/
