Question

utterly confused! Negative blood results but every symptom???

Where do I begin...um nausea spurts at least once a day, blue veins on boobs appearing more after bleeding (ill talk more about that below) acne breaking out real bad at first but still happening, massive leg cramps randomly through-out the day, tender-ish boobs here and there, headaches all the time (NEVER get them)...I could continue but it would be ridiculous. Anywho so I have a pretty regular cycle that starts out HEAVY full force and cramping for first hour then next day it dwindles down until day 4-5 where it tapers off. Well this cycle I received "AF" 4-5 days early (not normal) and I got it at 5am in morning woke up from dead sleep with sharp pain, went to pee and there it was, in clots? so first day was clotty (gross) second day about the same maybe smaller and a little less and then today super light flow NO clots. got bloodwork done on Monday, called today and nurse said Negative. did I get bloodwork to early??? did AF come early? why do I still feel like crap? y

One of the reasons it is so hard to tell the difference between potential pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms is because many are caused by progesterone which is present in both cases. When Pregnant there are higher amounts produced so the signs can be more pronounced, but this isn't a very reliable method of noticing. As you go through life your PMS symptoms can shift and change depending on your overall health and the balances in your body. After 8 pregnancies (5 miscarriages) I have noticed that I don't always have the same pms or even pregnancy symptoms all the time.

Things like headaches and nausea can be coming from other sources than anything relating to the female cycle, and for that reason can be confusing as well.

Implantation typically occurs 7-10 dpo. I can't tell if your timing for the blood test was right or not, but the clotty bleeding does sound like AF even if a different sort than you're used to.
