to test or not to test

I am bfing still and have not gotten my period back yet.  MH and I are only using condoms for contraceptives and I wondering at what point I should take  a test.  In the last week I have started feeling fatigued and I am noticing that my sense of smell is more sensitive (the first two symptoms I felt last time).  Other than this I have nothing else to go on, I would have conceived 2-3 weeks ago.  I took a test about 5 days ago, and it was negative, just wondering how long I should wait to test again.

When I stress out over testing I remember that if Im pregnant enough to feel pregnant, Im pregnant enough for a positive test. I know there are exceptions, but for the most part it's true. 

It never hurts to POAS.

I would test especially if you're feeling symptoms. It can't hurt to check.

I'm BFing still, too and not really doing anything to prevent. I mean, we're doing the good ol' pull and pray but we'd be fine if we got pregnant again.

My thinking is this: last time morning sickness hit me hard at 6 weeks. I threw up at least once every single day until 20 weeks. I was very obviously pregnant. I figure I'll notice if I get pregnant again. Lol. Maybe it sounds irresponsible or immature, but honestly getting pregnant again wouldn't be a bad thing so I'm just not worried about it.

I'm a POAS-aholic. I suggest buying some Wondfo test strips from Amazon. They're like 30 cents each so you don't have to feel guilty about wasting money every time you get the urge to test.

I had hyperemesis with DD1, but nothing with DD2 so I wouldn't count on waiting for symptoms.
