Feel like my body is playing tricks on me

Hello , I’m 13 dpo today and BFN. Period was due yesterday and I am feeling so sad only because this cycle my body has been SO different. I track symptoms every month in my app to prevent pregnancy I wasn’t on any hormonal contraception prior (this is our first cycle ttc) I am normally like clockwork and can tell a week before af is coming because I am always SO emotional and sad and spotty.

This time I’ve had none of my normal pms. From 7dpo I’ve had lots of cramping and sore breasts which have stopped now. I have felt for the last 3 days that my period is surely here and rushed to the toilet I even got some tampons to take out with me because I was so sure and nothing. With my two pregnancies prior I tested positive at 9dpo so I know I’m out.

I’ve got two children already and recognise the signs I have this heavy pressure feeling in my uterus all day when I eat and drink I really feel it it’s like a heavy ball I can just feel. I have had vivid scary dreams all week which I know means nothing. Honestly I can accept that this cycle isn’t the one but I could have bet money that I was pregnant this cycle just because of how different I feel. My breasts are huge compared to normal , I feel more frustrated that I feel it so much but I’m wrong.

I’m just waiting on AF to arrive so I can look forward to starting again but feeling really down that I dont even trust my own body anymore 🤍

Hi OP you're never out til AF is here, I like you had a positive at 9dpo with my DS but with my DD I didn't get a positive until nearly a week after my period was due, at the 12 week scan they confirmed she was a week behind so I obviously just ovulated later that month for some reason! Hope it's good news for you

Aw thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I've been feeling so down this morning ! That really does give me hope because I had no idea that was possible! I thought because I was always able to get a bfp early it's just the makeup of how my body produces hcg ! Honestly i feel so different in my body and there's been no changes this cycle in terms of stress of exercise. Anyway , I will surely have my answer in this next week if af shows up 🤍 - thank you !

@cheshiremamaxo I know it's been a few months but just wanted to see what the results were...? I'm in a similar boat!
