BFP 5 days before AF first time TTC

Hi all,

Myself and my partner decided to try and conceive last month and to my absolute shock i got a Pregnant 1-2 weeks on Sunday. I couldn't believe it and after a LOT of tears and disbelief took another clear blue test the next day(yesterday) which showed a nice clear plus in the results box.

Here my worry, I am not due on my AF until Thursday. So i got my positive 5 days before af, which is obviously very early. What prompted me to test was how 'off' my stomach felt for the few days before, cramping nearly every day and bits of nausea.

I have been wanting a child for around 5 years now and due to medical issues it was never an option, so even though this is technically our first month ttc it still feels like i've been waiting a long time. We both want it more than anything and i feel absolutely blessed and shocked to have a positive on the first month, i am a pessimist and convinced myself it would take a year minimum!

I am not concerned that i tested far too early and most women wouldn't even know they were pregnant at this stage? So a chemical is what scares me. I know there's ultimately nothing i can do and there is no point in worrying, but waiting for AF to arrive or pass is so scary. Has anyone else tested so early and had this dreaded wait?

I'm going to test again tomorrow morning which would be 1 day before AF.
I will also post my symptoms by dpo, i know not all women get them, but i definitely did and it may be comforting to some.

Thanks

Just to add i have a 28 day cycle(give or take a day) and i ovulated on the 10/11th day. Not sure if this is my norm as never checked before. I only judged it by my EWCM. So when i got my positive i was 13dpo, 5 days before af.

Thank you :-)

1-5dpo - Not much to report, anything i felt was probably me being a crazy woman and noticing every single twinge.
6-8dpo - Had one day where my bladder hurt every 15-20 minutes i would need to go to the loo. Lower stomach cramps very mild but constant. Boobs began to swell and get super sore!
9-12dpo - Took a test on 9dpo(very early) and it was negative. Stomach cramps continued they feel exactly like my period cramps. Still sore boobs.

13-15dpo - Positive CB Digi in morning, stomach cramps continued 13 and 14dpo. They have stopped today 15dpo. Boobs still slightly sore, mainly nipples.

xx Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive again for a long time!

Oh and waves off nausea on and off from 8dpo, stomach grumbling very loudly even after i'd eaten! Bloated too.
