I'm on my 8dpo, the last 2 days I've had backache, nausea, occasionally pulling in low stomach and quite sensitive breasts/nipples. They gotten worse over night and not had very good night. I know its early but decided to test and it's obviously negative with being so early.
I'm not due my period for about 6 days and never usually get symptoms like this or this early.
I will now wait until period day and re test like I should have done.
I don't remember having these symptoms as early with my daughter, I tested 13 dpo (before period due) with her and got positive
What do others think. Thanks for reading

Hi OP, I know it's so hard but if you can try and keep busy and occupy yourself you can then wait to miss a period before testing and get a definite answer instead of the anxiety of the is it/ isn't it and symptom spotting etc.

It's rare to get symptoms so early, especially if the hcg that causes them isn't enough to register on a test yet. I had sore boobs the same time as missing a period but nothing else until a week or 2 after that.

Good luck with your journey, I hope this is the month for you!

Thank you, Yes it's hard, I don't think about it much through the day woth being busy with work or little one; but the night time (when I have more time on my hands) it seems to play on my mind more.
Thank you so much 💓
