My partner and I have been trying for a baby actively for about a year and a half now and each month it comes back as a negative it just become more and more dis heartening

I’m 4 days late for my period this month but I have a feeling it’s just from stress. I’m scared to take a test cause I don’t want heart break I have a feeling there’s just something wrong with me and I’m not ready for a doctor to tell me that

Have any of you noticed and signs or symptoms super early to give a bit of hope?

Or any tips to help with conception
