My husband and I have recently started TTC. My last period started on Oct 10. My cycles are very regular. My Ovulation day was on or around Oct 22. I am having symptoms such as enlarged and sore breast, sharp pains in my pelvic area, bloating, and a little bit of upset stomach throughout the day. I took a First Response test at 7dpo and got a negative. My next period should start on Nov 5. So I did take a test 7 days before a missed period. Really hoping that I am pregnant! Any suggestions on when I should test again or any tips?

I can't find the other post. I searched for two hours. For this to be a community, y'all are awfully rude. Considering I will be a first time mom and a lot of y'all already have children, that's why I would be asking for advice from y'all. I've never been in this situation before so clearly I don't know what to do.
There is a lot of great advice in the comments you have received. The newbie blog answers A LOT of questions that you have. Learning about your body is a good thing and I hope you take the time to do it.
How dare these ladies be so rude, of course your totes preggers!
But seriously most of the ladies have given legitimate good advice. Most of the things they have asked you/told you your doctor would probably agree with. Wait until you actually miss your period before you test. If you're pregnant enough to have symptoms you're pregnant enough to turn a test.

So, you are the reason we're dealing with her meltdown right now :-)
sorry! I thought she would GBCB rather than actually listen. Now I know better and will link to babycentre from now on.
whoops, sorry Jefa and Joy! IDK what part of "read this linked newbie blog/ we can't see your future/no one knows what's going on in your ute" translates to "Ask the same question day in and day out and then ask TTGP".
