To take a pregnancy test?

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!!!

Want to be at home, if it's bad news then I can cuddle my puppy. Not be shopping in a dirty public loo. Door to door 40 mins if the traffic is ok.

Good luck xxx

LongLiveTheQueenBee · 23/01/2020 08:32

Good luck X X

After TTC for a year (nowhere near as long as you I know)....I got my bfp the month I had my smear so hoping it happens for you too X X fingers crossed x

OneTooManyBathtimes · 23/01/2020 08:33

Good luck! And even if it's not positive today, try again in 2 more if AF hasn't arrived. Both my babies I had to wait 4 days over, even with a clear blue early testing test (don't think they're that reliable tbh and I know when I ovulated as well as I get pains for it)

Good luck!!

Hope the journey passes quickly and that you won’t need the wine. 🤞🏻

Nicecupofcoco · 23/01/2020 08:34

I just want to wish you luck op! I have my fingers crossed this is your bfp! Good luck!
