Journey So Far- 8 DPO

Okay ladies, so I started the patch August 23 and only stayed on it until the end of my period on October 18th. We had decided try during next ovulation which came on October 31 and still had a strong opk on November 1st.

Two days leading up to ovulation I cramped, day of and then the following three days which were very painful. Followed by sore nipples, exhaustion, groggy feeling, headaches, a couple days of constipation, and nausea.

I am currently 8DPO with two negative tests.

Any advice on when to test or anyone have similar stories? Looking for some piece of mind or someone who relates😊
