Question

Is this a pregnancy symptom?

I am currently 14 DPO, AF was due yesterday. I cramped all last night so I thought for sure I was going to start but I didn't. The smell of burning oil when my husbands mom cooked tonight made me want to puke, so I had to walk out and Im tired but I cant seem to fall asleep or stay asleep. Last night I went to bed at 10pm but didn't actually fall asleep until 2am. But what is weird for me this cycle is that my boobs feel like their bruised in certain places, my nipples are also extremely tender, but thats normal to PMS too. Why do my boobs feel like their bruised? I had to switch to a sports bra cause they were hurting so much. Is this a symptom of pregnancy? I took a test at 12 DPO and it was negative. What do you gals think?

I have had tender breasts feel heavy and sore as a first pregnancy symptom before, but not always. I would say it could be a possible pregnancy symptom, but since you have negative tests your alternatives are to wait it out.. keep testing.. get a blood test.. or try a different brand of test making sure you use first morning urine when it's concentrated.

The breast thing could be a sign of pregnancy or pms just as easily because it is caused by progesterone which is present both times. You could be a little later than normal this time around, or you might be pregnant and just not have enough HCG to be detected by the urine tests yet. Some tests are more sensitive than others, and HCG should double every 48 hours in early pregnancy.
