Pregnancy Test - When do you get one?

My husband and I have been trying to concieve for just over a year now. When we first started I'd be a few days late, and, all excited, I'd go and get a pregnancy test kit. The result would be negative, and a day later I would get my period. I soon gave up getting so excited and now just try to forget about it.
I am now 4 days late, and just got sent home from work sick! I am tempted to go and get a test but am trying to hold off for another week - its like I don't want to jinx things.
Does anybody around here go through the same thoughts/feelings.
How long do you leave it before you take a test?

If you feel sick and you are late, I would go get a test. Taking the test won't jinx anything, you either are or you are not.

I can understand that. Even though my husband and I are no trying whatsoever, if I am a few days late, I will go get a test. I want a kid right now and he doesn't so we are using protection, but one can hope
