Was a lack of AF symptoms your first symptom!

Hi everyone,

I am 12 or 11dpo today tracked with OPKs.

i had a BFN yesterday so although I know I’m not totally out yet I am not overly optimistic. However, the only thing making me wonder if it is still possible is that I have absolutely zero symptoms for AF or pregnancy 😂

AF is due tomorrow or day after, I’m normally quite regular and always suffer with really bad cramps from about 4-5 days prior to AF, along with bloating. I have nothing.

i just wondered if a lack of AF symptoms was anyone’s first sign they may be pregnant?? I feel like I’m week 2 of a cycle not 4!

probably clutching at straws as usual ☺️

Just had my first ever bfp this week - I haven’t really had any symptoms! A couple of days I thought I needed to pee a bit more than usual, and after the bfp my boobs were more tender, but not before! I usually get a small amount of spotting between 10-13DPO and I haven’t any this cycle - so maybe absence of spotting has been for me!

With my 2nd pregnancy I had stopped trying so wasn’t symptom spotting at all, but once I found out all the signs were there! 🙈

Exhausted, bloating, nausea, sore boobs… I kept thinking AF was coming even put a pad on (but I think more so because I wasn’t tracking so I knew it was around that time, rather than because I felt it) I didn’t really have cramps, it was more than prickly bubbles sensation in my left side x

thank you both! In my gut I know I’m not pregnant 😔 but I don’t remember the last time I haven’t had cramps before an AF. I think it was when I was on the pill about 2 years ago! I have no sore boobs, no headaches, full of energy no nausea 😂 literally nothing! Maybe I’m just going to be really late this cycle!

Congrats on the BFP by the way 🩷

Everyone’s symptoms are different though so I wouldn’t rule it out yet. Anything other than the norm could be a positive sign so still hope yet🤞🏼

Sheer exhaustion, an aversion to chocolate and the most painful boobs ever for me. It was the one Pregnancy I actually thought we’d be bringing home a Baby because I had such strong symptoms but sadly it wasn’t meant to be
