PREGNANCY?

Question

Okay sooo I had unprotected sex during my ovulation window 4 times!!! I do have an ovation cyst on my left ovary (just one that comes and go’s- doesn’t cause issues). However,
I am about 7dpo and I am starting to feel full cramping in my RIGHT side.
I’ve been kind of queasy also. The thing that causes me to think I am is that I was not on the pill long at all and then came off (they say a lot of women get pregnant faster after coming off the pill). Thoughts?

Answer

(This was too long to reply to your comment so I’ll post here haha!) 
The most valuable advice I got when we started was to remember not to compare your journey to another woman's. Everyone has a different body, a different journey and a different way to do things, and comparing your ttc journey to another woman's can make you very sad. So many women on here are very hurt when they don't get pregnant when they want or someone else they know gets pregnant before them. I'd totally just try to focus more on you and your journey. Don't let someone else get you down! 
Also, here is some other things that helped me get my BFP last year: 
2) remember it takes time to conceive sometimes, and that's okay. Babies are always worth the wait. A 6-8 month wait is normal.
3) use OPKS. This app told me I was ovulating 5 days before I was so I was having sex on the wrong days, and had no idea until I used OPKS. 
4) never use blue dyes. They just are plain hard to read and give false positives. Just don't. Save yourself the headache 
5)not everything is a symptom. Hahaha. Don't be the girl that's like "gasp! I sneezed. I'm totes pregnant!" Haha.
6) ask for help when you need it! 
7) Get heathy now! Start taking prenatales to help you get in the habit and to help your body get prepped for baby. Exercises and get a good food diet going. Obesity, dehydration, poor diets can make ttc harder. 
8)You don't have to lay down :) my aunt is an obgyn and shared with me that's a huge myth. Sperm that gets you pregnant goes where it needs to go before he pulls out. Whatever comes out after is fluids used for lubricafion from him and you, as well as dead or immobile sperm that wouldn't have made it. Laying with your feet up is actually more likely to cause problems like UTIs, yeast infections, etc that causes more problems than it helps. :) I never laid and I got pregnant in a month! Don't stress about it.
9)enjoy this special time to bond with your husband. There aren't  many other times in your relationship where you will get to support each other towards working on a common goal, love each other so much, and feel so close. Don't make sex a to do! 
Good luck!

Answer

It’s still pretty early so I wouldn’t read too much into it yet. I didn’t get my positive until 17 DPO, and symptoms of periods and pregnancy are very similar. I’m the type of person who gets their hopes up easily and it caused a lot of sadness. I’d wait a few more days, if you continue having symptoms it’s probably a good sign. Good luck!
