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!!!

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it. This seems really silly posting all of this. But I've had a really dark time and this is helping. I feel like I could cry, but I'm managing to keep it together.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Good luck OP 😁

if it's negative then do another with your first wee of the day as that's when your wee is less concentrated and the HCG is easier to detect

Thinking of you OP, and keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

I found testing and getting it over with far preferable to waiting for a period to arrive.

Sending you all the best wishes Flowers

AudacityOfHope · 23/01/2020 08:59

Good luck!!

Lazydaisydaydream · 23/01/2020 09:00

good luck!! When we were struggling to conceive I always found it easier to take a test than wait for my period to show up, as I hated living in the "maybe" world even if it was only for a few days at a time. Flowers

Good luck
