Hi all, this is a bit of a long post but if someone else has been through this, how did you guys go by it?

1dpo - Morning light cramps. Bed with pulling sensations

2dpo - Pulling sensation continued, slight stabbing while walking (alternating sides) around ovaries (lower abdominal), very weak feeling later in the day.

3dpo - Light abdominal pulling sensation, fatigued all day, bloating in the evening.

4dpo - Light abdominal pulling/twinges (ovaries area) weak, hot flushes, fatigue.

5dopo - Urinating more, dull abdominal pulling sensation, slight fatigue, intense late night cramping (left side towards middle of lower abdomen. ovaries?)

6dpo - Intense cramps on the left side continued til lunch time. urinating more, creamy discharge, slight fatigue, gassy.

7dpo - Urinating more, nosebleed, dull abdominal pulling sensation, congested nose, bloated.

8dpo - Headache, slight lower backache, dull abdominal twinges, strong fatigue, light metallic taste at night.

9dpo - Weak, hot flushes, congested nose, nausea/queasy feeling around food and when standing, light abdominal flutter, fatigue

10dpo - Cramps, head spinning, nausea/queasy feeling

I tested this morning and came up negative. Was it maybe to early to test though?

I've been pregnant multiple times now and it's my belief that if you're looking for a pregnancy symptom, you can find one. In the end we all discover the only conclusive confirmation the hCG test.

Best time to test is generally 12DPO onwards. 10DPO is still early. So yes you could be pregnant. Good luck

Agree with @Outside9 - Bear in mind that before implantation you wouldn't have any symptoms. The symptoms are caused by HCG and your body only starts producing this once implantation has taken place. This is usually between 6-10dpo. Anything you feel before 7dpo is most likely totally unrelated.

The general rule is if your HCG is high enough to cause very noticeable symptoms it’ll be high enough to show on a test. Especially a 10miu sensitivity test. HCG starts being produced after the embryo has implanted. So any symptoms you get before then (at least 1-6dpo) are general progesterone/hormone change symptoms that happen whether you’re pregnant or not.
I TTC for years. I had every symptom going for many months and years. I realised I was being daft when one day I was thinking about my symptoms meaning I was possibly pregnant this month and getting excited but then realising that month we didn’t actually have sex at all because my husband was away! I was so used to symptom spotting every month I’d forgotten when it was actually impossible to be pregnant.
And then weirdly enough the few times I was actually pregnant I had zero symptoms. I still catch myself musing over symptoms now even though we are not TTC anymore and I know I’m not pregnant.

So in all honesty, unless you’re doing it for “fun” as it were, I really wouldn’t advise getting actually hopeful or excited about symptoms. Every month, whether you have symptoms or not, you could be pregnant! But just don’t pin your hopes on the symptoms. Be hopeful but stay realistic. Until your period arrives you aren’t out of the running. And I’d discount any symptoms before at least 10dpo personally in the long run.
