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!!!

I'm literally running up the hill clutching a bottle of wine, my heels and handbag while texting. My neighbours must think I've finally lost it!!!

Sorry op - hope the wine is good

feistymumma · 23/01/2020 09:19

Sorry OP, this might seem like a long shot but for all my three pregnancies none of them ever showed a positive test result. Even when I suspected I was pregnant I had negative results (even with the best kit) for up to 10 weeks and in all three missed the 13 week scan as a result. There is still hope yet. I have everything crossed for you xx
