As the title, been trying for over 10 years had all the tests etc, came back as unexplained fertility. Periods are consistently every 28 days now I've missed one and way over for this months (last was end of May). I'm too scared to test though. I know I have to or get checked out if not, I cant face another negative though. Help please

OP if it was menopause it's highly unlikely that you'd have regular periods then out of the blue they stop, I'm pretty sure that's not normally how it works.
Did I read it right that you haven't had a period since may and you've been feeling sick?

Thank you, no I would need to get one, I have some symptoms like feeling sick all the time, hot flushes but tbh I've been putting them to the back of my mind not to get my hopes up again. UK yes

Have you got one in the house? Or do you need to pop to the shop first?
As you say, you need to get checked out if it’s negative, jut actually you also need to get some medical attention very soon if you are pregnant because you’d be 9-10 weeks by now and so it would be time for some scans.
So. You’ve had no period since the end of May. You need to call the midwife service or your gp. (If you’re in the UK - it varies a bit if you’re not). This pregnancy test is going to tell you which of those things you need to do. Don’t let yourself think too much at the moment about the anxiety you very understandably have over the possibility of a baby or of a negative test. Think of it as you’re own test for your own health decision. Like taking your temperature to check if you have a high fever or not.
