Test now or later?

So I am on cycle day 27 with no period and my cycles range from 24-27. Should I try to maybe wait a couple days before testing just to make sure my period isn't coming in a couple days since my cycles are not down to a T?

Do you guys try to wait just to make sure or are you guys pretty sure you know exactly when you would get your period?

Are you temping/charting? If not, how do you know when your period is due?

I temp and chart with FF, so I'm pretty sure when I get AF. But I also test earlier than that day.

Really though, you could just take a test. 

Congrats to my TTC/labor buddy AndyYouGoonie! Can't wait to meet baby Goonie.
My son is so cool Baby Pandas are awesome!

That's really up to you, honestly. Everyone is different. You might have ovulated later.

TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycles #11 & 12 are unmedicated (No temping/testing/charting)

If you arent charting you cant be sure if you are actually late or ovulated later than you thought.  Go ahead and test if you want.  Then keep testing  every week or so until you get AF.

Cool thanks ladies!

Yeah I just use one of those apps and put in my periods and gives average information and predictions of when my period will be...it is usually pretty spot on..but because I dont temp or chart I didn't want to just jump the gun.

If you are on cd 27 and your cycles are 24-27 days then you aren't late yet. But if you want to test to satisfy your curiosity then do so. Hopefully you aren't relying on the ticker in your siggy to know when you O'd - they are not accurate. My cycles had been consistently 29 days until last cycle which was 31 days. TTC will mess with your head!

Just test!!!  Worst case you waste $5...or if you have leftover OPKs use one of those and if it looks promising then test with an HPT.

You shouldn't test. Ever. Magic 8 balls work way better.

Oh thank goodness you're being cool. I thought I was going to come back and see a typical butthurt newbie.

OP, if you get a BFN I have a feeling you'll fit in juuust fine around here while you're trying to get KU. 
I promise to never forget that this little dude deserves just as much love after the baby comes as he has now.
