Need some advice

My period was supposed to start on April 1st, and I started what I thought was going to be my period on April 5th, but it has just been spotting. For the past week and a half I have been struggling with eating, as food has been tasting bland or like cardboard (even with a ton of hot sauce), and the past few days I have been feeling nauseous mid-morning. I have been easily fatigued, and also suffering with indigestion. My husband wants me to take a pregnancy test, as we have been trying to conceive for 22 months, but I’m scared that it is a chemical pregnancy and I don’t want to see another negative test. So do I take the test?
