[name]Hi[/name] berries!
DH and I have not been TTC, though I’ve wanted to for several months now. We haven’t been using bc, either. Our mentality is “If it happens it happens, and if not, that’s okay too.” Well, now it’s [name]April[/name] 16th and I haven’t had a period since [name]March[/name] 7. I’m just wondering how long other berries would wait before taking a test. I don’t feel different, except just totally, completely exhausted. This would be my third baby if I am pregnant. With my both of my boys I had heart palpitations, so I knew very early on with DS2 that I was pregnant. I don’t seem to have those right now, although sometimes I do feel a little lightheaded or dizzy and out of breath, both of which are associated with the heart palpitations for me… Anyway, my period tends to be irregular and I’m just trying to decide if it’s time to take a test or wait it out. The reason I don’t want to is because by allowing myself to take a test I’m allowing myself to hope for it, and I do NOT want to see a negative test. 
What would you other berries do?
On the other hand, I don’t feel as if I’m going to start any time soon, either…
EDIT/UPDATE: I decided to take the advice of the berries who posted and take a pregnancy test. There was a very faint line on it, and I bought a two pack. Since that was late morning, and I’ve heard you’re supposed to take the test first thing in the morning, I took the second one yesterday morning. It was negative. I made an appointment to go see my OB on Monday morning because I do feel sick to my stomach and have a constant headache now. Maybe my hCG levels are just weird this time? I still don’t “feel” pregnant though. I just assumed that once I knew what it felt like to be pregnant, I would always recognize it right away. I’ll keep everybody updated! (Now I’m realizing just how badly I want it to be positive…)
