I have to get a PCR test for a trip with family. I don't think they can do at home tests so i have to go somewhere. Ugh. How do i get around this or keep myself safe? Are these tests better now or safer I'm worried. I've read so much on here, I had one when I was pregnant and I was ok. What if something happens this time!? I need ease of mind really.

I'd not do it.
it's not possible yet to know the effects of the test you had when you were pregnant because the nanomaterials and chemical toxins on some of the swabs can take years to manifest problems. Just because you didn't have nosebleeds or obvious symptoms during your pregnancy doesn't mean it didn't harm you.
There is no safe way to do a deep nasal swab and this is doubly true if 'they' provide the swab. I know some people who are given 'quick tests' to do at home and their companies use an honor system to report the results. That can be safe so long as you use a regular old supermarket q-tip and only take mucous from the opening of your nostrils. But no way I'd let a nurse jab a Big Pharma swab way up there close to the cribriform plate.
