Period or Pregnant?

Hi,
First ever post 🤯
We have been TTC for a while now and I also have pcos. The plan was to TTC naturally for a while after I got started on Metformin hoping it would kick start ovulation but now getting to the point of thinking that going down the IVF route may be the only way.
May be TMI but I started tracking our love making sessions a while back on my period app to try and see if we could catch an egg.
Getting to the point a few hours ago I realised my period was maybe a few days late (difficult with pcos) and now as you can imagine I have been scrutinizing every little thing from the last few days that could be an early pregnancy symptom or pms.
I've had light cramps, slight lightheadedness, hungry, feeling a nauseous now and again tmi was sick whilst brushing my back teeth yesterday, didn't think much of it then but it never happens.
Thinking of taking a test in a few days if AF hasn't shown up.
Any weird early pregnancy symptoms to share? And how can I stop obsessing?
Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance

My very first pregnancy symptom was gagging whilst brushing my teeth, never happens usually 😅

But since other pregnancy symptoms are so similar to premenstrual symptoms, it's often impossible to say.

Why not just do a sensitive test, like a FRER?

My first symptom was bloating. I was sitting a work and wanted to unbutton my jeans. I did a HPT the next day at 9DPO and it was a faint positive.

Do you know when you ovulated? Are you tracking with OPKs or temping? They only way to stop obsessing would be to do a HPT.

Took a first value pregnancy test this afternoon, couldn't resist. Didn't sleep last night, also a usual for me, so slept early this morning and when I woke up took a hpt as I'm telling myself it's fmu lol. Could have sworn I saw a shadow of a line that should up within the time and was more clear after the window had turned white. Checked for indentations and there weren't any and would've thought it was too early for a evap line. Obsessed over it, went for a shower. Obsessed some more and threw it out but not before trying to get a picture but it didn't show up great. Not sure how many dpo I am with pcos and use lh test but not great, heading out for more lh test tomorrow for next cycle, I ran out of my usuals and couldn't get anymore. Trying not to get my hopes up and just wait on AF and get more lh and HCG test tomorrow. Obsessed over so many tests over the years it's hard to believe it but tbh it's the most prominent shadow I have seen but not a line. It's the waiting game now, I hate it.
