Should I test?

Joell
I'm 4 days late & a bit apprehensive about testing. My periods are like clockwork every 28 days. I'm 46 & don't want to be disappointed with a bfn. I haven't mentioned to my boyfriend about me being late because I don't want to get his hopes up. He's 36 with no children & would love just 1. I have a dollar store test at home. Should I just go ahead & use the darn thing already?
