Question

8 dpo (i think) and negative pregnancy test with tons of symptoms....could I be?

My husband and I aren't neccessarily ttc, but we aren't preventing it. We had intercourse twice last week and I know I ovulated at some point last week as well. I believe it was Thursday morning (the night after being together.) my period came 4 days early last month so I'm not 100% sure when to expect it but based on the calculators and "average" cycle length I have it would be expected next Thursday. I've been testing all week every other day including right now and some completely negative and some either very slightly positive or evaporation line. I've had tender nipples, heartburn, ,nautious, more exausted, lower back pains, and weak legs, lightheadedness, and pulling sensations with slight cramps off and on the past couple days. I know I've been in my head lately, but these symptoms are definitely not. Am I testing too early, and could I still be pregnant?

8 dpo is too early to test. the hcg is only produced after the implantation, and it only begins 6-10 dpo. for most tests then 3-4 more days are needed for the concentration to be detectable in urine. so wait 2-3 more days and retest.
the symptoms are too confusing as they can be the same for early pregnancy and for PMS. only a test after 11-12 dpo will tell! good luck

I agree with the above comment. Most tests won't show positive until closer to expected AF and even sometimes after. Also test results are dependant on the concentration of the urine you use. I never do a test on anything less than a 3 hour hold.

It's early. I Didn't Test postitive on a first response until I was 5 Days Late and Positive On a digital 6 Days Late. Depends on how much hcg your body is making... everyone is different.
Good luck!
