How long would you wait to take a pregnancy test?

I’m a day late and terrified to take a test. I had a miscarriage on feb 8th and it was emotionally draining. The doc was pleased how I released on my own without meds and she gave me the clear go ahead after I got my period on time in March. My husband and I tried again during ovulation so I cross fingers for positivity. I heard you are more fertile after a miscarriage so I’m trying to keep positive. I will be 42 in the next two weeks and this would be the greatest gift

Just wanted to know everyone’s thoughts.
