11dpo - BFN but lots of symptoms?

12 replies

Hi guys, really looking for some advice because the last week or so have been so unusual and I could swear I'm pregnant but keep getting BFN's.

This is my 4th month and I definitely didn't feel like this the other months. I was ovulation testing on IC's and never got a solid +ve but it got quite dark and my temp shot up so I'm pretty sure I know when I ovulated.

I'm now 11dpo and these have been my symptoms:
1-7dpo bloated and feeling a bit sluggish, cramping, a few vivid dreams
8dpo woke up so so dizzy and light headed, cramping
9dpo spotting (still a bit dizzy), dreamt of BFP
10dpo very emotional, fatigue, slight nausea
11dpo feeling really nauseous now! Very fatigued. Lots of saliva.

Honestly, I've just been so so convinced that im pregnant, I have that 'I just know' feeling. What's getting in my head a bit is that I don't know whether it makes sense for me to have all of these symptoms and no BFP.. if there's enough hormone in me to cause nausea this bad then surely there's enough for a BFP?

This is so confusing. Would appreciate any stories/advice.

@FluffyCatLady Hi! I can emphasise massively as this was me last month. I didn't get a BFP even though I had this gut feeling to the point where I hadn't processed it would be a BFN and it hit me pretty hard ... perhaps I felt worse when emotion was combined with AF hormones. I didn't feel myself for a while. I convinced myself 10DPO was too early for a positive but I went to 13DPO and also for a BFN. AF was a day late but came in the end.

There are many people who don't test positive until after they have missed their period so I hope you are one of those people but go easy on yourself and if it hasn't happened this time, maybe it will next. I am now on Cycle #6 and I am going to try Pre Seed which has helped some people on here. Good luck! x

Hi, I'm in a similar boat, lots of symptoms and 10dpo but BFN tests. We aren't out till AF arrives! May be testing too early. Good luck 🤞🏻

Thank you so much for your reply! I think ultimately I'm going to try my very best to just forget about it and take my mind off and test again in a few days so I know for sure. Not sure stressing as much as I have today is going to help at all. Will let you know how it goes :)

Hi guys, I'm now 12dpo and have a really stuffy nose which I've read is a symptom. I did a FRER this morning and got BFN.. then this afternoon I did a clear blue early test. So when I first did it I saw a bit of a line but not really. So I took the test apart and it confused me because there's like 2 strips. So then I put it back together again and there was this faint line (that's definitely blue so I don't think it's an evap). Do you think this is a faint BFP or do you think it could be a result of me pulling the test apart and putting it back together, ha. Sorry for the stupid questions I'm just so so convinced this month.

@FluffyCatLady hi! I think the only way to tell would be to test again tomorrow. When is AF due? I guess the test being taken apart isn’t ideal for validity! X

Yh I think you're right! AF came at 13dpo last cycle, so tomorrow. I feel like if AF comes at least this will have been a good experiment to teach people not to take test apart. I'm going to test again in the morning.

Update: the top one is last nights that I was worried was an evap. The bottom is this morning. Still could be an evap but this morning is 100% blue and slightly darker than last night. AF is due today so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Going in a road trip tomorrow so hopefully won't obsess quite so badly over the next few days :)

I can see lines on your most recent tests! I think you are pregnant op 🤞🏻

Katnissx · 30/09/2021 12:57

Did they come up within the time frame?

Maddie2802 · 30/09/2021 13:03

Thanks for the 🤞🏻 guys.. it's so nice to vent on here! Ok so I have a dull back ache now and cramps as if I'm about to get AF and I've had them for about 6 hours now and still no sign. Which I'm taking as a positive thing because usually I get the back ache and cramps literally the moment I start AF. Equally today is my AF due date so maybe she's just about to start.
