Question

So confused

I am 9 DPO. My S/O and I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day. About two days later I got crampy. Then I got nauseated. Every time I eat now I feel terrible. Yesterday I couldn't eat anything without having diarrhea. Today I wasn't really nauseated, but I was super irritated and then really weepy. After dinner, my stomach started cramping again. I have to pee about every half hour. I'm thirsty all the time. I've been getting lightheaded very easily, like just sitting up in bed. I've been having these crazy dreams. I've also been having some pressure in my uterus. It feels like a swelling type of pressure?

I took a test today and it was negative. I'm not sure if that was too early. Is there a chance that today was the implant because of all the cramping after dinner?

Before my periods, I usually get very tired and hungry, but now I can't sleep at all. I'm nauseated all the time, but then hungry at the same time. Does it seem likely that I could be pregnant?

The hard part is that all of those symptoms still could be from progesterone, which is what your body creates whether pregnant or expecting AF. Every bit of information will tell you that 9dpo is still too early to test. If a woman is pregnant, most seem to not get a positive reading until 12dpo, according to statistics and polls. Those certainly could be pregnancy related symptoms you have, but negative tests at this stage may be false negatives. Believe me, I know it is hard not to test this early. I'm at about 11dpo and had a BFN yesterday, again. I knew it was too early but tested anyway because I never have nausea due to PMS. Anyway, I wouldn't get discouraged yet, but unfortunately you are still too early to test for a positive at this stage, more than likely. Try to give it until 12dpo which is when most women who are in fact pregnant start to get positive readings.
