Today I am 9dpo and testing negative but having really bad cramping, back pain and slight nausea. This is our first month of ttc and really hope that for once something comes easy for me.
I'm 32 (33 next month) my dh and I got married in December and this really would be the cherry on top of an amazing period in my life.
I was sadly in a dead end relationship for 10 years and we ttc but found out 8 years in that he couldn't have children. I've lived through the monthly heartache for so many years to be disappointed each time. We both had fertility testing and eventually we found that he had a blockage due to his lifestyle choices. 🤔
Safe to say I decided to end the relationship but have now been left with the constant memory of disappointment which I didn't realise how badly it had affected me until starting to try with my dh. I also can't help but think I too may be infertile because I've never fallen pregnant before.
Anyway that's were I'm at in my ttc journey.
So I'm hoping that the pregnancy bench still has a seat saved for me this month. Looking for some positive outcomes after initial negatives ❤️

You could be experiencing implantation cramping; 9dpo is still quite early for a BFP, even if you're using an early-response type of test (the ones that say they work 6 days early, though these are only 79% accurate). HCG doesn't start rising until after successful implantation and will take a few days to rise to levels detectable by a test, so try waiting a few more days before testing again, particularly if you find the BFN triggering. (I say this, but I know it's really freaking hard not to.) Best results would be after your period is due, but 1–2 days before is usually still pretty accurate with the early response tests. (ClearBlue is 97% accurate 2 days before period is due; 98% 1 day before; 99% after it's due.)

With my first I took a test day before AF was due and got a stark negative. Did another one the following day and got a definite positive.

as hard as it is, try not to symptom spot and don’t take a test unless AF is late.

Definitely! Depending on your cycle length, 9dpo is very early. I had my first incredibly faint positive at 11dpo with early response and it didn’t darken until the day my period was due. As everyone else says, testing early does more harm than good…but I did it all the same!

I tested negative at 9dpo then got a faint positive at 12dpo so definitely could happen yet! Good luck
