Having Swollen Tender Breasts, Headaches, Dizzy And Back Pain. Should Go For Pregnancy Test?

Question: I'm two days late for my period, my husband and I have been trying to conceive. I'm feeling cramps and discharge but every time I go to the bathroom to check but no period. My last period was oct 20,2013. My cycles last 23-25 days. I dont want to get mine and my hubbies hopes up for disappointment, we went and bought the test but im scared if its too early and will give a false result. Other symptoms ive been having are swollen tender breasts, headaches, dizzy, back pain and the begining of the week all i wanted to do was rest but now i can even sleep......any advise?
Brief Answer:
Wait some more days before taking the test...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your strong desire to become parent, but you need more time.
The symptoms you are experience now are also symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome.
So, wait until 10 days after your due date, approximately until 30 November. If no period, can take pregnancy test.
This is not to have a false result.
All the best!
