Help! I'm so new and clueless at this.....

Ladies, I need some help. I’m new here and new to TTC and I need you to tell me whether I am crazy or not.

DH and I started TTC this month. My cycles are not super-regular – they are usually between 25 and 27 days, and, to be honest, before very recently, I didn’t keep very good records or count days very carefully. Wasn’t really a priority til now .

My last cycle was 27 days. AF last started in 2/26. According to my babyzone.com calendar, based on me saying that I had a 27 day cycle, I was “supposed to” ovulate on 3/10. On 3/7, I had what my inexperienced eye called EWCM. We BD’d on 3/7, 3/8 and 3/10.

Yesterday and the day before I had sore boobs and this morning I felt pretty queasy until I went to the cafeteria at work and ate a bagel (I had had my regular breakfast at home, same as I do everyday). This is not usual for me. I get sore boobs RIGHT before AF, but she is not due until the very end of next week.

So, here is my question, IF I ovulated on 3/7, I’d be 8 DPO today (3/15), right? Is it possible that I am feeling early symptoms and am not just hyperaware of my body? When can I test???????? The suspense is killing me, and this is only our first month!!!! Does the 2WW get any easier? I want to POAS, but, I don’t want to waste my money and emotional energy.

Thanks so much for your help!!!!
AS I write this, my boobs are gettign really sore again....... I think I might just be a hypochondriac!!!!!

ETA: I have one Answer Early test at home. It is tempting me...... DH thinks I am a kook.

If you are 8 DPO now I would say wait until 13-14 DPO to test.
That way you make sure you were accurate in your ovualtion date.
if you don't get your period by the 22nd, I would test.

Thanks. Yikes, that's not until at least Monday. I'll do my best to wait!

Sassy, based on your posts, you are a champion of waiting to test! I bow to your self restraint and will power!!!!!!!!

8 dpo is definitely too early.
I know it's hard not to test, but I agree that waiting a few extra days for a BFP is better than testing early and seeing a BFN.

Good luck and welcome!!!
