Trying to get pregnant, scared to take a test

Any advice and/support would be greatly appreciated, my partner and I have been trying off and on for 3 years for a baby, no luck, I've had scans and swabs and ultrasounds and blood tests and they say I'm fine. But no baby :( however, we got pretty drunk on new years and got a bit frisky, a week later I've been feeling ill, nauseous and can barely eat a full meal. I think I was ovulating at the time because I was having pain on the left side and I had a very small bleed. I took a test last week and it was negative.
Fast forward to this week, my breasts are extremely tender (more than usual) but I've been having the occasional cramps like I'm about to start my period, they feel lower down than usual and I'm due on today I always come on in the early hours of the day I'm due. But my breasts still hurt, my nipples feel full and I feel like I'm going mad. Am I being delusional? I'm terrified to take a test in case it comes back as another negative

You do know there's only one thing to do, don't you...!

I know, but with the cramps I'm starting to think it's all in my head :(

I can appreciate you being apprehensive but the only way to find out and stop the second guessing is to take a test

All the very best to you. x

You've described the exact symptoms I had the day I got my BFP and I'm currently sat with my 11 day old little boy in my arms. Everything crossed for you OP, good luck xx

On one hand your body plays mean tricks when you are TTC on the other hand you could actually be PREGNANT, please take a test Thanks

Congratulations @tired1245 Flowers

I had the same symptoms OP, did an at home test 1 day after my period was due and it was negative. 5 days later I had a blood test and it was positive! Home tests aren't always very accurate. I ha fertility treatment as well so I know how you are feeling. I'm currently 34w so good luck to you!

Took a test and it was negative 😞 sad but not surprised, congratulations to those who are pregnant, hopefully I'll be able to have some happy news one day
