Should I test?

In 'normal' times I would just go buy a test.

AF is 3 days late (really unusual for me)
Zero other symptoms except I am very sleepy.
We are using contraception but of course it's never 100%. Another baby one day would be wonderful but I'm disabled and the middle of a pandemic would be very high risk.

I can't shop at the moment (really difficult to navigate for disabled people at the moment) so DH shops. He would need to buy me a pregnancy test. His mental health is terrible just now, so much anxiety. This would really really panic him so I don't want to ask him if it's a false alarm.

So.. should I:
a) stop freaking out, it's only 3 days
b) bite the bullet and ask him to get me a test
c) ask a friend to get one and drop it round when he is out

Mumsnet help please!

I think a lot of people are finding these unusual times are throwing their cycles out of sync a bit so it might turn out just to be that.

BUT, if it were me, I’d ask a friend to pick up a test, see what it says and then you don’t need to let your partner know until you have a definitive answer.

Good luck either way x

Ask a friend to pick you one up, or order online?

I'd order from amazon x

Def order one from amazon. If you were preg with a boy then taking the pill is not good for them (all that extra female hormone can cause intersex boys) I agree with above that current stress has probably messed with your cycle. Get a test to reassure yourself.

DH would ask what I've bought (we always share post especially parcels which are usually exciting). I might have to buy a few things at the same time so I can explain the parcel.

I've also had to pee 3 times in the last hour. I have no idea how to feel about this. I'd so love a baby but it would be so dangerous just now.
