I'm afraid to test...

Seneca
So I was expecting my period on 11/1 . I still haven't gotten it but I have been getting some slight brown discharge . It's past the time frame of implantation bleeding though . My period has never been this late and I think I am afraid to test because I'm just afraid of getting a negative .  Also don't want to spend the money &  it ends up coming a day after . I want to just get a cheap one. Anyone had any symptoms like this before ?
