TTC but negative tests with pregnancy symptoms

I am holding out hope that someone out there can help me and settle my mind .
I am 26 years old with PCOS. My husband and I have one child and we would love to have another to love and care for.
We have been trying since the beginning of the year without any luck, with my PCOS I can not track my periods properly and ovulation is hit and miss. Since my AF on the 13th of last month and all month TTC I have started having extreme nausea, dreadful metallic taste in my mouth and tiredness with vivid dreams. I did a test today and it came back negative which completely broke my heart. If my cycle was how it used to be a while ago and you count a 30-31 day cycle I would not be due on till the 12-13th of this month. Today being the 9th have I tested too early... These symptoms can not be for nothing and I am getting worried... Can anyone help?

It might just be that you're testing too early or it might be, as PP said that you've ovulated and this is just the progesterone.
I do sympathise though as I also have PCOS. Are you getting any treatment for it? My DS was a Clomid baby but I'm now pregnant with our second after following a low GI diet, taking metformin and having acupuncture.

So you don't think it could possibly be pregnancy symptoms?

Your "symptoms" are likely to be caused by progesterone that is released after ovulation. I get the same every single month. To track your ovulation try opks and temping. Good luck x
