Pregnancy or PMS?!

Brienne

Hi all! I’ve been wrecking my brain about this for the past 6 days, so I’m going to solicit some company! 😊

So my last AF was 7/29 and my partner & I DTD on 8/10. According to my original tracker (eve) the O should’ve been 8/15. I know 5 days is a stretch, but I’m hopeful. Anyway, on 7/18, only 3dpo I woke up with very mild center-focused cramps & a headache. Because it was so early, I decided to download this app and plug my dates in again. According to Glow, my O was 7/12, 3 days earlier than eve…which would make my symptoms 6dpo. EXCITED!

So I took a Clearblue 6dED test on 7dpo (4dpo acc to eve) & it was BFN. I then took a test 8dpo (5dpo acc to eve), 9dpo (6dpo acc to eve) & 10dpo (7dpo acc to eve) all BFN. I got a beta Hcg at the doctor 10dpo (7dpo acc to eve) & BFN.

The cramps & headache have not gone away & have maintained their mild nature since 6dpo (3dpo acc to eve) with cramps creeping into moderate for a few seconds a time or two. I’ve also experienced some mild nausea, constipation & lower back pain, though those haven’t been as consistent & prevalent as the other two. Another interesting thing I learned at the doctor is I have been struggling with some BP issues, taking amlodipine (inconsistently) & readings usually coming in the high 140s/high 80s, but it came in at 130/80…the lowest it’s been in months even with medicine.

All this to say is it still a possibility that I’m pregnant and just following the Glow calendar when eve may be the most accurate? AF is scheduled to come either 8/26 or 8/29 (let’s all say it…according to eve! LOL). The doctor said it may have been too early, but something about a blood test being BFN has me in doubt.

Thoughts? Experiences? Suggestions?

Thanks y’all, & Baby Dust to those that want it!!
