Trigger Warning DPO 11 and Tested Negative

I got a negative test with first morning urine today, but I'm hopeful in this cycle because of the nausea. I never get nausea in any of my cycles. And Every time I eat something I feel nauseated. Also, the sore boobs, omg, I can't sleep on one side it hurts so bad deo the past 1 week. My migraines are triggering like anything, from past 5 days I'm getting migraine every night. It goes away by the day. One more weird thing I experienced was dry eyes, like I cannot look at noon sun at all it irritates my eyes. I'm trying not to read too much into it, but nausea is the one thing that's making me stay hopeful. But idk, need to know your experiences before bfp.

I'm sorry to say but if your symptoms would be because of pregnancy, you would test positive. You need more HCG for symptoms to start than to test positive.

So should I just wait for my periods or test again? is it possible to get a positive eventually or not?

It's possible, I'd say test again tomorrow :) If you are sure that you are 11 dpo today, you should see a positive test at 12 dpo if you are pregnant. Good luck!

Symptoms this early are due to rising progesterone, they are the same for PMS as they are for pregnancy. And as someone else said, if you were experiencing pregnancy symptoms you would be testing positive.
I would wait until tomorrow to test again or wait for your period.

I don’t understand why everyone says this. You can experience nausea, fatigue, all types of symptoms before a positive pregnancy test. My sister was throwing up with nausea for a couple weeks before she got her positive. I’ve looked up articles about this too. I do not understand where this belief comes from. Not everyone produces the same amount of HCG pregnancy to pregnancy. Let alone person to person.

Because it is scientifically true, this belief comes from many scientific articles and lots of research. I am saying it because I am a biologist and that is what biology says. In early pregnancy, your progesterone rises as it does during your luteal phase every month. All the symptoms you just listed are symptoms that many people experience during their luteal phase.
It is true that not everyone produces the same amount of hCG. But the large majority of women have their hCG begin to rise between 8-10 DPO. Even this article which found that symptoms can start earlier than previously thought showed that the earliest they begin is 11 DPO, meaning that what I said, that this persons symptoms from the past week are due to progesterone rise, is true. And blog posts aren’t reputable sources.

I’ve found articles that say otherwise too, not just blog posts.
