First month TTC - nervous to test

Sarah

This is our first month TTC and coming up on the end of our TWW. I expect my period on Tuesday (1/7), bringing us to 4 days before period.

The past week I’ve experienced pelvic pain, lower back pain, mild nausea, and headaches. Which have not been the norm for my PMS in the past. My lower abdomen has also felt tight and “full.” I would consider myself very aware of my body.

I’m nervous to test, because this is only our first month trying and I feel my hopes may be too high. I’ve always imagined this would be a long and difficult process for me.

When should I test! Should I wait a few more days (currently 10 dpi)?
