Day of missed period

So AF was due 1/12 and she didn’t show. Got a negative one step pregnancy strip. Today I had a headache, Nausea (puked this morning) but other than that just nausea without vomiting...Period like cramps, which is why I thought she would show. What’s everyone think? How long should it be till I get a positive test? Trying to hurry so I can make sure my dental surgery is still gonna happen on 1/17
