Am I pregnant?

So today 8/10 is my 12th DPO, AF was due 2 days ago but no sign.

Since my OV my breasts and nipples have been quite tender, I normally get sore nipples but the breast tenderness is new and I've never had the soreness last so long! Also my DH has noticed quite an increase in the size, I've always been a B cup but measured yesterday and now a D! 2 cup sizes in less than 2 weeks! They are rock hard? (Is that normal, I've never had any of this before).

I'm experiencing more migraines and nausea than usual but that could just be coincidence.. i have a little bloating but nothing to write home about. It's more like air or bubbles are moving around in there.

I've been testing for 2 days at different times (never first of the dayConfused) but the tests I use have some mixed reviews, they are the 10mIU Wide Width Pregnancy Test Strips (tests up to 6 days earlier). All 5 I have done are BFN.

So basically what I am ask is what do these symptoms sound like to you? Did anyone experience these in early pregnancy? Am I just clutching at straws because my baby fever is so bad? What are your experiences with the tests I use/which would you recommend?

Any ideas/opinions/comments will be greatly appreciated, I feel like I'm going mad.

Also may be helpful to know that my cycle isn't regular, normally around 28-30 days but occasionally it can be anywhere from 26-35 days.
I did definitely OV (I use OPKs and BBT).

I think you'll just have to wait and test again in a couple of days. Could you have ovulated late? At 12dpo a 10miu test should be accurate but you never know. Maybe try a different brand?

Fingers crossed for you!

Sounds like progesterone to me - which is there regardless of whether or not you conceived. Symptoms spotting makes you notice subtle things that don't mean much.

Pregnant enough for pregnancy symptoms (and not just from progesterone) is pregnant enough for a positive test...

@KinCat yeah I'm planning on buying a FRER, they are little cheapie test I use. I never realised they were bad until I read the reviews on here.

Fingers crossed...

So I brought a clear blue test today as both Asda and Sainsbury's didn't have FRER... BFN, more disappointed than I thought I would be; to the point of tears... DH will be so dissappointed with me when I tell him. Nevermind, try and next cycle for the 7 time... I really thought I was.
