What are these feelings

[summers24]

Hello,
I am 9/10 DPO today.
Since yesterday, I've been having very mild tugging / cramping in my lower stomach / around my pubic bone area

Today it's been less frequent but I suppose now I'm sitting down for the evening I can feel it more. It really isn't painful though and in fact they are very mild.

I haven't got sore boobs, but I am feeling occasionally nauseous - I've been gagging at the most random things today 🤦‍♀️🥴

Does anybody know what this could be? I'm praying it isn't the start of AF - my period symptoms are much worse than this usually and much more painful and prominent.

I have taken a test which is negative 😟

any help would be so appreciated.

I've also noticed I feel a little constipated recently, like I need to 'go' to the toilet but can't when it come down to it.
No pain in my boobs as I say, but they feel more full and heavy - and the sides are a little sensitive.

It can take 3-4 days from implantation for hcg to get high enough for a positive home pregnancy test. So it could still mean the start of your BFP! Although pre-AF and early pregnancy symptoms are pretty much the same so it can be hard to know what’s going on until your AF is due. Hope you get your answer soon x
