Question

17 dpo, 3 days late- TTC over a year- to test or not to test?

Hi all!! New on here! I am 24 years old, DH and I have been ttc for over a year with no success. Each month seems so disappointing when af shows up. I am very regular- every 25 days. This month, af was supposed to arrive on Sunday, well, here it is 3 days later on a Wednesday and shes still a no show. My breasts started getting very sore on Saturday, and still are extremely sore! I feel like I have boulders in my bra. I have some nausea spells every once in a while (but I also have acid reflux, which sometimes causes this.) I have also had alot more bowel movements lately.
The only thing concerning me is I have been cramping and feeling like af is about to show but I run to the bathroom thinking "oh great, here it is," and yay, no blood! I have been debating whether or not I should test, I dont want another BFN! Has any one else had similar symptoms and wind up with a BFP? SHOULD I TEST?! Im so nervous to, I dont want any more disappointment!!

At this stage it is late enough for you to test and get a pretty definite answer one way or the other. So go for it and goodluck!
