Too scared to take test after miscarriage

Hi everyone
I'm writing on here as I just need to feel like i can air this and talk to someone, who maybe understands.

Basically im a week late on my period, but I am absolutely petrified to take a test.

In short, ive had a few miscarriages before and my last one was in June with twins, which i had to have the surgery for.

I just cant even bring myself to do a test in case its positive because of the anxiety that comes with that, as already I feel something must be wrong as last time I knew I was pregnant before this stage as I had symptoms where as currently apart from a missed period there is no signs if it was that.

I know I need to do one but wanted to see if anyone else had felt this way too if gone through something similar?

Thank you so much

Do you need to do one? My friend didn't in your situation and it took the pressure right off her. She didn't test until a couple of months late and she was actually pregnant.

I'm really sorry about your losses, it must be so hard x

My concern if I dont do one, is if its a missed miscarriage like ive had previously, I wouldn't want to leave it so long. But then at the same time my anxiety at the thought of even doing one is just awful. Thank you so much for replying, it's nice to just be able to talk to someone about it.xx
