Never been pregnant before, help!
I had sex the day of my ovulation day. I'm going to be 7dpo tomorrow and I'm experiencing a lot of symptoms which I keep track of.
3/9 Nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach (also had sex)
3/11 VERY vivid dreams, vaginal pain similar to a UTI which had me in tears (also had sex)
3/12 Frequent peeing (5 times) , emotional, 99.9 temp (also had sex)
3/13 Exhausted, bloating, nausea, upset stomach, frequent peeing (4 times)
Today: Exhausted after walking short distances, feeling unbalanced, 99.2 temp, craving lemonade, leg pain.
my fertility window was from 3/3 to 3/9. I ovulated the 8th which I had sex that day. took a test 6dpo because my mother insisted and I told her it'd be negative and what do you know. it's negative. should I wait to test until my next expected period (3/22)?

the symptoms during the 2ww come from progesterone (PMS) and are not pregnancy specific
testing is the only way to know, but the hcg is only produced after implantation (if successful), and then needs 3-4 more days to reach detectable levels. implantation starts between 6 and 10 dpo, so the very earliest one could possibly get a true positive is 9dpo, and safest is 13/14dpo
if you are trying to conceive it is best to have sex 3-2-1 days before the ovulation (the sperm need at least 8 hours to travel up, and the egg only survives 12-24 hours max, so if you only have sex after you ovulated they may not meet on time)
