Being a few days late is not uncommon from time to time, even if you have regular periods.
If it's pregnancy you're worried about, I say the chances of you being pregnant are very slim. Home pregnancy tests are pretty reliable these days, especially if you test a few days after your missed period. Unless, of course, you're one of those few women who produce extremely low levels of hCG (pregnancy hormone). I would just wait it out. But if it does make you feel more at ease, do take a blood test.
