To take a pregnancy test?

[surelyitcantgetworsethanthis]

Been TTC for 4 years. Failed rounds of IVF, without even so much as a late period. It's been hell.
My period is 2 days late, very unusual. I'm now day dreaming that I might be pregnant. We really tried this month and I had a smear mid-month and dr commented was showing signs of ovulation. DH wants me to give it a couple of days, not jump straight to POAS as he knows how heartbreaking I find the all negatives. All
through IVF he was dead against early testing, always waiting for the bloods. But that was torture and inevitably we got the call either with me at work or out for lunch with was devastating and embarrassing as I'm led sobbing from a restaurant.
AIBU to buy one on the way home and put myself out of my misery? Or should I live in a hopeful bubble for a couple of days?! HELP!!!

I can’t tell you whether to test but I can tell you that I have everything crossed for you.

I'm second guessing every belly ache and running to the loo every minute I feel something odd!

You need to do what feels right for you OP, currently in the 2WW and having to restrain myself from testing early, if I was you, and you really wanted to find out, but a FRER and find out, maybe on your own if DH is dead against it

FRER?

"First response early result" ...they are the most accurate tests as they detect lower levels of hcg.

I would take a test.

Living in a hopeful bubble is great....until the bubble pops (hopefully not). Allowing yourself to dream you are pregnant for a few days to only have your period arrive (hopefully not) will only cause you more hurt and disappointment I would imagine.

Take a test....

If it’s positive then wonderful!!!!

If not, then you can be sad and disappointed but also acknowledge it hasn’t happened.

I really, really hope you get a positive test though

Good luck OP, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Take the test. In my experience those bubbles do more harm than good, better to live in the present and deal with the reality of whatever the test brings.

Test. You need to put yourself out of your misery.

Good luck,

Would your period coming be any less upsetting than a negative test at this point?

We've been ttc our 2nd child for over a year now. I was 4 days late this month

Good luck, I hope you get a bfp!

Good luck op

Take a test! I think the waiting and symptom spotting is so hard. Good luck :)

I'd take a test. It's better than getting your hopes up for them to be dashed again.
I have everything crossed for you x

I never understand why people don’t take a pregnancy test just because of their reaction to a negative.

I think it’s more destroying to wait and be in the unknown wondering.

Good luck op!

Go for it OP! Best of luck 🤞

Aw good luck OP. Take a test so you know either way, if it's positive then lovely to find out and if negative at least you won't have been building false hope.

Good luck op. X

Ok. I've just had my last meeting for the day. I'm off to the chemist. Might need a handhold !

Good luck OP. I'd personally test but that's because I'd drive myself mad otherwise. I'd have myself convinced I was without any evidence to the contrary.

I’d take a test if you don’t think it’s too early (if you know the date you ovulated ?) . I did a test at around 10 days post ovulation , not even a squinter of a line, then two days later at 12 days after I ovulated and I got the strongest line on a First Response Pregnancy test . So maybe get a couple of those tests from Superdrug , or any supermarket , and then if it’s negative today, test again in a few days . Sending you all the luck in the world , it sounds promising . I’ll check back later to see your result xxx

Going to need a handhold .....

I'd buy a test. Good luck I really hope for a positive for you. I'm so sorry to hear all you have already gone through.

Best of luck OP, I'm here for a handhold and wishing you all the luck.

Cross posted good luck I have everything crossed for you

Good luck OP. I always tested early, I have no patience
