Testing negative, feel pregnant. Advice please

[EmberR]

Sorry it’s one of those. I know the answer is wait and test later. But

I am ridiculously bloated, feel ravenous but sick when I eat. I am waking in the night with my tummy rumbling. My boobs aren’t sore, I have no CM and taken a clear blue early response test which was definitely negative.

But I don’t feel this is PMT symptoms? I never get hungry or feel bloated? I am about 12 DPO I think. Period is due in 3-4 days.

Anyone had this before and could I be pregnant even though totally clear negative test?

Lots of people will say your symptoms are coincidence. However, I had strong pregnancy symptoms (very sensitive boobs and lower back pain that was almost crippling and nothing like my usual period pain) from about about 8dpo (estimate) but tested negative initially on a clear blue before getting a positive just before my period was due (when the symptoms had died down and I did have what felt more like period pain), so it is possible. It turned out to be twins. No idea if that made the symptoms stronger.

If you’ve had a negative early test at 12dpo then that’s an accurate result OP sorry

Did you test in the morning? This will give the most accurate result.

I didn’t have any symptoms until at least 6 weeks pregnant. My first ones were very noticeable veins in my boobs and tiredness.

I did the test around 4pm but I do think it should at least show a faint line this close to my period date. I assume it’s just hormones in PMT but so odd as I’ve never felt this before.

I just can’t believe it’s psychosomatic and I am making this up? Feeling bloated and nauseous is pretty clear - it’s not in my mind! Must be progesterone before I get my period I suppose. Stupid female bodies huh

I’m gonna be devils advocate here. With DS I tested at CD 23 and CD 25 of a (usually) 27 day cycle, 10dpo and 12dpo. With the boots 5 day early tests- 10miu sensitivity. Both as blank and as BFN as they come. Had literally every single PMS symptom going. After the 2 BFN I just assumed that was it and to wait for AF. Only a week later the ‘PMS’ symptoms weren’t going away. They weren’t getting more intense either. So I tested again, same tests. BFP at CD 35. I’ve no clue when in that week it would have changed to a BFP. So my moto now is, you’re not out until AF comes to town. Positive thoughts 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing your experience @jelliebean9 I really appreciate it.

Just need to do the one thing that’s hard. Be patient! It’s funny because you know nothing you do can change the outcome and only time will tell. But it drives you bonkers!
