Need a place to vent. Cycle day 24 and...

...where are my pre-AF symptoms? I normally have contraction-like cramps and air-filled belly in the evening starting right around this time.

11/12 DPO. Symptoms for the past weeks are

Cramping from low in my abdomen that come back every day right down in the same spot-- low and to the right. Nothing like the contraction-like AF cramps I am used to. Never had cramping after O soooo thats weird.

Heavy, full feeling coming from low in my abdomen that starts in the morning and stays all day into the evening (not just when I eat). Only some gas.

Nausea that lasts all day (no vomiting, thank God).

Needless to say, I am feeling very confident this month, yet not interested in trying to convince anyone else or myself. Feeling pretty frustrated considering my history of overthinking every symptom and not feeling like I can go to people out of fear of being judged.

BFN's for 5 days. Feeling irritated that some women get their positives at fricken 7/8/9 DPO. Feeling frustrated that my boyfriend doesn't have to wake up and feel the heaviness of "Am I pregnant? Should I test? Am I crazy? Where is my positive? Is my body about to change dramatically for months?"

This wasn't meant to be a pity post. Just looking for a place to ask for some support. This shit is hard. Not like you all don't know that.

Hope anyone reading is still able to stay positive. Respond if you'd like some mutual support :)
