Symptoms but BFN

[YourGiddyJoker]

Is it normal to have so many symptoms but still get a negative test?
I’m 9 DPO, period due on 12th. I have had pregnancy symptoms from about 5DPO - nausea, heartburn, bloating, constipation, mood swings. My nipples now really hurt and I’m like extra hungry all the time but I’m still getting negative tests and I’m starting to think I’m going crazy and imagining the symptoms.

Is it normal to have so many symptoms but still get a negative test?

Yes, because the symptoms people associate with early pregnancy are the same symptoms people have when their period is due. This is a result of your progesterone levels peaking. If you're pregnant it continues to rise, if not it drops just before period arrives.

Pregnancy symptoms that are a result of hCG levels rising, don't tend to kick until 5/6weeks.

I’m aware of that….but I never usually get symptoms before my period. Like the only symptom I sometimes get is sore boobs and moodiness.

9DPO is very early to test. I think you may still get a BFP.

Most women don't look out for signs of elevated progesterone when they're not TTC. When you are, you're going to be sensitive to bodily sensations.
