To test or not to test

My period is 3 days late? There has been spotting two days before my period was supposed to come along so says Glow. I’m happy but don’t want to be excited. I don’t want to take a test because what if the spotting is just the tip of the ice berg? I don’t want to get my husband excited because he constantly asks me when we’re going to have one. We’ve been trying to have a baby for over a year. I don’t want to go get a test and see it be negative yet again. I feel like I’m giving up slowly. Should I take a test or just wait for my period to come like always?
