Symptoms pre BFP?

[Aleeme]

Hi All! Currently 10 DPO and this mornings test was BFN. However I feel really crampy, heavy womb feeling like you are about to get a period. Its a weird sensation like when you drive over a bump on the road and go weightless for a split second! The weird thing is, I never get this before my period! The first sign for me is spotting, i rarely cramp and don't feel this heavy feeling ever. I'm also due on tomorrow and I normally spot a few days before but so far nothing. Anyone had this and got a BFP??

We were trying for 4 years before conceiving baby number 2.

Being totally honest, I think our bodies and minds can start playing cruel tricks on us when TTC. I had many months where I had every early pregnancy symptom going, sometimes even with a late or completely missed period too, yet it was always a devastating BFN.

The 2 times I have actually been pregnant, I've had no symptoms before missing a period whatsoever. In fact, I'd written those months off as it just felt like AF was due to arrive at any moment.

Apparently it's the hcg that the tests are designed to pick up, that also causes the symptoms.

Agree with previous poster. The cycle I fell pregnant and it stuck was the one I just kept saying 'here it comes!' I said multiple times that month to my husband that everything felt exactly as if period was coming. Cramps etc. Looking back now, about the only real sign I can see was that my runs got slowwwww. My PBs started being a thing of the past and I couldn't keep up with my husband. At the time though I just thought I was coming down with something. I was very wrong. As i always say. Don't count yourself out until aunt flow comes to town!

We’ve been trying TTC for 18 months but no birth control for 3 years. Every month there is a new symptom you convince yourself is a pregnancy, this month I also had a heavy feeling in my womb, yet in the one time I was actually pregnant (I miscarried at 10 weeks) there was nothing different than all the other times. Our bodies will always do these things as part of our PMS - we just notice them now. It’s really too early to be getting symptoms yet.

My body is currently doing this to me now, it's very confusing. I'm due on Mon or Tuesday and I've been spotting today but only when I wipe, now this could just be my af being odd this month so I'm not getting excited, I'm just waiting to see what happens as I normally just start and get heavier, this isn't filling a pad yet and it's a light pink to orange colour, the problem is there's so many symptoms of pregnancy and af that we just don't know until af shows up fully or we take a pregnancy test. It's really horrible and for those ladies that are trying to conceive its even worse, of course your going to symptom spot.

Well, I got my first BFP tonight at 12 dpo! Still feeling heavy and crampy in the womb. Fingers crossed baby sticks :)

Congratulations! Wishing you all the best x

Thank you so much! Hopefully this thread is helpful to other symptom spotters in the future x
