Hi, Anon. Welcome to EmpowHer, and thanks for your question!
I'm so sorry this is a stressful time for you. Let's see what we can figure out.
With your last period starting on June 13, a 30-day cycle would have meant you were probably ovulating between June 25 and July 5, with the most probable date being right in the middle of that - June 30. If your normal cycle is about 28 days, you were probably ovulating between June 23 and July 3, with the most probable date being June 28.
So there's a chance that you ovulated late in your cycle, on July 5. If that's so, your period probably wouldn't normally come until 14 days after that -- by July 19, in this example. So while I know you feel like you're a couple of days late, I actually wouldn't worry until another few days go by. If I were you, I would probably wait at least until Monday, and if it hadn't come by then, I'd take a home pregnancy test -- figuring that either way, I wanted to find something out.
If it should turn out that you are pregnant, are you OK with it even though your partner would be gone?
