Anyone else 9DPO with no symptoms and waiting to test?

9DPO today and literally feel nothing apart from slight period type cramps that come and go. My period is due Monday (24th).
I have a gut feeling that I’m out again this cycle. I told myself that I wouldn’t test until my period is at least 3 days late because the disappointment of seeing a negative test again is too brutal.

is anyone on a similar DPO to me and experiencing any “symptoms”. It might be too early but I see people online talking about how they “just knew” or they had symptoms this early, and there’s me with nothing every month!

TIA x

Oh no, I’m sorry 😔
I tend to get some form of cramping on the lead up to my period anyway so this isn’t really anything different for me unfortunately 😔 I did notice some cervical mucus on the toilet paper when I peed this morning that was clear and watery in consistency but that could just be caused by hormones as my period isn’t too far away so I’m trying to not read into it! Argh!

It’s all so confusing isn’t it, I’m trying not to symptom spot as having pmos and endo I just get random things in my cycles anyway.
I wish there was a 1dpo test 🙈😂

im either 9dpo or 0, my symptoms are cramps like yours but also ewcm. I have a weird pressure near my c section scar and a fluttering feeling.
so either way something is happening, but most likely ovulation again and back at square one :( I took a test today and bfn so not hopeful.
if it helps with my first I had no symptoms other than cramps!
