Question

Pregnancy symptoms but BFN!? What's happening!?

I'm at a loss, last 3 cycles I've had early pregnancy symptoms starting a few days after ovulation: increased CM, sore boobs, backache, nausea and cramping. They last for a week and a half and then AF arrives. ð??¢ I've done HPT but BFN.
So are these early pregnancy symptoms, or is there something wrong with my uterus? Anyone else experience this?
Been off BCP since Oct last year and really trying since Feb this year. My cycle is 24-28 days. Did preparatory acupuncture in Feb but it mucked my cycles around a bit.

More info - the cramping, pulling, pinching and pressure can get back and lasts the whole literal phase. I've never experienced that before.

I very much doubt there's anything wrong with your uterus. All of those symptoms are caused by progesterone and estrogen levels. Completely normal. Each cycle stands on its own, so its not unusual to have different symptoms with different severity at any time. But if it worries you, call your doctor - they can let you know what's going on for sure. Good luck!

@essemkay - thank you, I'm just not sure why the fertilised embryo isn't sticking. I suspect it's trying to implant or has implanted but not taking. Guess I'm worried as I've never had these symptoms during my luteul phase until these last three months. Usually no symptoms at all, so hoping the egg is being fertilised. The cramping gets quite bad. Will go to my doc, just to be sure. Thanks for your comment.

Update... Still TTC, meeting with FS on Tuesday to discuss plan for IVF, as we've been trying for just over a year. had an early miscarriage in Oct14.
Anyway, the symptoms I described above, I am putting down to progesterone, which seem to give the same symptoms as early pregnancy, hence the BFNs. Thanks for reading.
