Ttc month #1

So apparently I'm 5 dpo, but I have short cycles and it's my first month tracking so I may have ovulated sooner than I thought. I'm exhausted and my boobs feel heavy and painful (which is what makes me think I may have ovulated earlier in the month).

It's totally possible I'm just having PMS symptoms I've never had before. Like I've never had breast pain, but maybe I do this month.

My questions are: how far out from your period do you start testing (mine due in 1 week). And also has anyone else felt anxiety and panic during the tww wondering things like....am I really ready? Should we have waited? Etc etc?
