Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Pregnancy test can give fairly accurate result when done after 14-45 days of ovulation (30-31st day of regular cycle, but for most accurate result it should be done 21 days after ovulation (35-37th day after last menstrual period). Kindly wait for 2-3 days if possible. If you are very anxious, you can do it now, but remember that it can give false negative result if done early.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
