Missed period, emotional, cramping, spotting during ovulation but negative tests?

I know this is most likely a very common topic here, especially for those trying to conceive. I've tried not to look into things too much but now it's driving me crazy!

Me and my other half haven't been trying for a baby but obviously sometimes 'things happen'. I have no issue with not being pregnant, it's just this uncertainty that is really getting to me.

I was due my period some days ago. I always get mine 2 days before my sister, and my sister got her af but still a no show for me. My period is always very regular and only ever became slightly irregular (just a couple of days out) when I started some medication a few years ago. Apart from that, my periods have ALWAYS been bang on.

I've been none stop emotional, crying at every little thing (I usually get a bit upset just the day before my period. Other than that I am NOT a crier whatsoever). This was the first warning sign for me that maybe I could be pregnant because it's just so out of character, and when I was pregnant previously it was the first thing I noticed.

A few days ago my boobs were so sore and hard I could hardly lie on my stomach but they seem deflated a little and not so painful now.

I feel my stomach has this strange sensation like I had when I was pregnant with my son, almost like 'something is in there'. I've had moderate cramping and that hot sensation in my stomach and really bad back cramps for over a week now, like I'm going to come on, but still... nothing.

I had some spotting and jelly-like cm with it, around the time of ovulation.

My cervix came down really low (which always happens before af) but now it's gone right back up high to a point that it's difficult to reach up there lol

Yet I've done about 6 pregnancy tests over the last 3 days and all are negative.

Has anyone ever been through something similar and still ended up being pregnant? I'm concerned it might be some kind of underlying health issue but still I'm none the wiser. It's just driving me crazy.

You may have had a chemical pregnancy which is when you get the symptoms but baby fails to implant in the womb which is very common!
However your fertilised egg may not have implanted yet! My advice would be wait a couple more days to do anything test and try get a clear blue or first response!

@Meg7689 - that's not what a chemical pregnancy is...

In a chemical, the only way you can tell you're pregnant is because of a positive pregnancy test. You miscarry before anything would be seen on ultrasound.

In a chemical, implantation does occur. That's the only way you get a positive test.

So if the op had a chemical pregnancy (or was pregnant in that implantation occurred), she'd have a positive test.
