11DPO - BFN but SO many signs I'm pregnant?!?

Hi lovely mumsnetters,

I am reaching out to this wonderful community as I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown from overthinking (currently trying not to burst into tears in my office) 🙈

I am nearly 35, we have been trying for a baby since Nov 23 and I have had two miscarriages 10 weeks in March 24 and 7 weeks in Oct 24. We have been trying each month in between and I've never been too crazy about it - I don't do loads of tests etc normally.

This cycle I ovulated on CD14 (usually CD16) and we DTD on CD13 & 14. I only did one CB OPK test on day 13 which came back as solid smiley.

Anyway, I really didn't think this would be our month as I hadn't put too much effort in and felt like we hadn't got our timing right so wasn't expecting much at all. However, 6DPO my boobs went REALLY tender - I have never had this before, I never get soreness before AF and even in my pregnancies I only got sore nipples later on. The soreness hasn't gone away at all and is very noticeable even when I put a seatbelt on or whatever. I also had obvious cramps on 8DPO that lasted 24hrs. Then for the last few days I have had an obvious Hot/Cold (like Deep Heat spray 😂) feeling in my uterus area which felt very similar to my previous pregnancies. Back ache, overly emotional, blue veins on boobs - it's all been going on!

I have been testing for a few days and getting BFN then this morning 11DPO I did a FRER and CB early test and both were completely negative. I am so depressed because I really felt like this was it.

Sorry for the essay - I really feel like I have no one that I can talk to about this - my other half is amazing but he has found our miscarriages very upsetting and has only just got confident and excited about conceiving again so I don't want to put him off with my emotional rollercoaster!

Does anyone have any similar experiences that turned out to be positive? I would so appreciate any advice, experience or just a little Baby Dust! Xx

Period and pregnancy signs can be the same. I’m convinced mine were exaggerated when I was looking for them.

Thanks for your reply😊 I'm aware that this may well be the situation - it's just SO out of the ordinary for me. I rarely have any PMS symptoms and have very regular cycles. Like I say, I wasn't looking for them so was very surprised when all of this started happening!

It sounds insane but I knew I was pregnant almost immediately. I don’t get cramping mid cycle etc but I was consistently cramping and sore boobs which prompted me to test at 10DPO. It’s very possible that you are just too early / implanted later? Sending you baby dust! 🫶🏻

@Lulu89x that's exactly how I feel! When I fell pregnant the first time, we weren't trying to conceive we had only come off contraception. I knew nothing about the science or my ovulation and I didn't event know when my last period was! But then randomly I had floaty 'awareness' low in my tummy and completely out to the blue said to my Husband "I'm going to get a pregnancy test because I just have a weird feeling that I might be pregnant" and lo and behold I was! The second time I had a dream that I was and then tested positive. I'm a big believer in the power of intuition which is why these negative tests are really catching me off guard!
Maybe I could have implanted later, that's something to hold on to! Thank you for keeping the hope alive! ❤️
