Scared to take test

I know there are so many people out there who buy and take tests in bulk with excitement and anticipation, but I feel like I am too emotionally fragile after a recent D&C to see a “no.” I understand it can take 4 to 6 weeks to have AF show up, but as we all know, for every woman to whom this applies, there’s always stories of women who ovulated two weeks after a D and C, misses their period, and winds up pregnant.

In theory I could be pregnant, as I’m 8 days late, but I could also be part of the population of women whose period returns during the latter half of the 4 to 6 week estimation. WTF? Should I take a test? For the sake of following my ovulation apps, which are all telling me to take a test, should I do it to just end the wonder and suspense? I’m such a wimp when faced with these dilemmas. Please tell me what you’ve experienced! Love you all.
