How Long After The Delayed Periods Should Be Checked For Ectopic Pregnancy?

I had my tubes tied almost 6 years ago. I ve had some bloating the past few weeks. On Wed night I had a bit of an ache in my lower abdomen. Not quite cramps, but I am due for my period. I had a streak of blood yesterday morning right now but it s never amounted to anything. I had a few streaks of blood when I wiped. Maybe twice. My coffee made me sick this morning and I m a bit dizzy. I feel almost like I have a sinus infection but I don t. My question is: I have a history of first trimester bleeding and spotting. I doubt I m pregnant because of the tubal but if I am, how long can I safely wait after my period is supposed to start before worrying about an etopic pregnancy?
