Symptoms before a positive?

Question

Can you have pregnancy symptoms and still test negative?
**Reason asking, is I’m cycle day 26, and I’m not entirely sure when I ovulated, but with my first pregnancy, I was dozing off randomly which I never do. And now I’m dozing off randomly again. 
But I tested this morning and it was negative. My lower stomach has this fullness feeling to it and kinda hurts. Usually the only pms symptoms I have are bloating and water weight.

Answer

True pregnancy symptoms (as in, symptoms specifically caused by pregnancy hormone HCG) don’t actually start until about 6 weeks pregnant - around 1-2 weeks after you would get a positive test.
The symptoms you experience after ovulation until either your period or a positive test, you would have experienced that cycle anyway because they’re caused by high progesterone. Progesterone rises after ovulation and stays high for around 12-16 days in a normal cycle, causing symptoms like sensitive breasts, nausea, irritability / mood swings, food cravings, food aversions, and literally anything else. 
If you’re not pregnant, progesterone will drop back down to pre-ovulation levels and your period will start. If you are pregnant, the HCG will send a signal to continue producing progesterone past that 12-16 days to maintain your uterine lining until the placenta can take over progesterone production. 
So symptoms are NOT an accurate way to know if you’re pregnant. I felt exactly like my period was coming when I got my BFP, cramping and all.

I am pregnant ❤️

Answer

As a nurse and mom of 6 you can have symptoms prior so many people say no but that's untrue.

Answer

Well pregnancy and period symptoms are the same. So if negative, may be your period coming. But you can always wait and test again in a few days if your period does not show.

Answer

Yes, pregnancy symptoms are non specific and could be from anything else. Some are also similar to period symptoms. 
I didn’t have any pregnancy symptoms until a few weeks after I tested positive.
