Terrified to test but period is 5 days late

Just need to get this out.. I'm 5 days late now according to my iperiod tracker, and my cycle is usually fairly regular. The last 6-7 months say 26 days, 25 days, 28 days etc between periods but now it's 31 days and counting.

I had a weird hormonal surge a fortnight ago where I was super anxious and crabby as though it was PMS, then had a PMS style headache a few days ago, yet no period arrived.

I'm 38 with 3 kids, youngest is 3 and I'm just terrified that this could be another pregnancy.

I don't feel pregnant and I'm hoping it's just some glitch due to hormones or stress but what if it's not?

Sorry that this is a bit of a pointless post because of course I should just go and buy a test. But I needed to get it out anyway.

Have you had unprotected sex?

JoJo no, we use condoms but I know nothing is 100% safe. Thankfully I just did a test and it was negative!
