Should I take a test?

I’m not sure if I’m convincing myself or if I should actually take a pregnancy test.

I’ve had unprotected sex twice with my partner since I was last on.
My period isn’t due for another 11 days and I know I’m supposed to wait until I miss a period, but I keep thinking that I might be pregnant.

My boobs feel very heavy and sore especially on a morning when I first stand up, I’m needing the toilet more frequently, I keep getting achey period type pains and have lots of tightening feeling around my stomach.
My skin has been quite oily which is very unusual for me, I also feel quite bloated and like I’ve put a bit of weight on around my stomach in a short period of time.

Would you take a test if you were me? Or should I wait to see if I have my period?

If you've got 11 days to go I doubt it would show a positive anyway unless you were pregnant during your last period.

My periods are very sporadic so it’s hard to know. My last was very light and only lasted a few days
