NEEDING REASSURANCE :(

I have symptoms and i have the gut feeling that i'm pregnant but my nerves are getting the better.
Does anyone have a success story from their first cycle?
I'm a lesbian and have been using known donor artificial insemination at home so the times i can do it are limited and it's 9dpo but i'm losing faith in myself. :/
I'm due on my af on 18th nov(friday) and this wait is stressing me out.
Can anyone share some words of reassurance?

Hi,

I'm new to this so I'm not too sure of what to expect. I'm starting again after 2 boys who are now 9 and 11!

This is my first try and it sounds like you and I are exactly on the same schedule. I am 9 DPO today and and AF is due Friday. I have had a lot of the symptoms which started right away. Backaches, cramping, sore breasts, vivid dreams, night sweats. So I got ahead of myself this afternoon and took a test and nothing showed up :( I know it is most likely too soon and I should wait until Wednesday.

I think we need to sit back and relax and let time take its course!

Wow we are in the exact same boat bar the fact i have no kids yet. :')
It's funny you said about night sweats coz last night was the first time i've had them!
The only time i get night sweats is when i have the flu and i'm not ill so
I starting to feel a little more positive and letting myself relax it bit more. It's still a bit early so i'm going to be testing on friday and i'm wishing that it has worked!!
I've made plans for friday to have a nice day so that whatever the results, i'll have a good day so that if it's negative i won't feel so bad.
And if it doesn't work then there's always next cycle.
