Feeling pregnant before positive test?

Is it possible to 'feel' pregnant before it shows up on a test? I've been pregnant before but can't remember how this bit went!
I've felt sickly with tender boobs and a little cranky for a couple of days now. AF is just about due but not appeared. Have taken tests on the past 3 days but all negative. Has anyone experienced this or have any wise words? Thanks!

I can definitely relate Aye - last time we TTC on our first cycle I was positive I was preg - in fact my period was unusually 5 days late 😡😡😡 but I wasn't. When I was, I do remember noticing my nails suddenly growing v v fast but I can't remember any other early symptoms.

This time I convinced myself I was preg as very tender boobs fron unusually early, I think I'm out though as AF is due Friday and it's been BFNs all week. I didn't bother tracking O which is v annoying in retrospect!!

Me neither on the ovulation front. We're only half heartedly TTC and I'm suddenly panicking about not having the most healthy lifestyle at present. Maybe this will give me a much needed kick up the backside to cut out alcohol and crap food. I don't have a very regular cycle so af could be any time during this week, really.
Good luck with whatever happens.

I've been pregnant three times and each time I've had sore breasts for a day or two before a test showed anything. However, for lots and lots of women they get no signs at all before they test positive, so not getting them doesn't mean you're out! Good luck!
