Update sort of... I need advice

Hi ladies.

So, last time I posted it turned out that I wasn't pregnant considering I got my period on January 17th.

Anyway, according to my fertility friend chart, I should have been fertile on the 27th, 28th and 29th of January. I had unprotected sex on the 25th, 26th, 27th, and twice on the 28th. I had a doctor's appointment on the 30th and they did blood work, and I asked my doctor to have the blood tested for pregnancy. Yesterday I took an at home pregnancy test, and it came out negative. I then tried another one today with my first morning urine, and again it came out negative. I got the call later today from my doctor saying that my blood work tested negative for pregnancy. Now this is the thing. I don't feel right. My breasts have been hurting like hell lately and I get dizzy, headaches, and nauseous. Is there any way that it could have been too early to test for pregnancy? My doctor said that the hormone should have kicked in to my blood stream immediately, but I am not so sure. It hasn't even really been a week. What do you ladies think? I am going crazy. I just really don't want to be disappointed again. Do you think there's a possibility that I tested too soon or should I just give up? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

i would wait until you are about 11 dpo since it can take 7-10 days for implantation. good luck and i hope you get the answer you want.

I would wait until it is closer to when you should start your next cycle. It seems to early to me to test. Don't give up though, sometimes it takes several months to get pregnant. It took 6 months with my first, so dont give up and dont stress about it!!!

Good Luck and keep us informed

You could be giving yourself the symptoms. I know there was a month when we were TTC that I SWORE I was pregnant and caused myself to be sick, have sore boobs, everything. My period was over a week late too. My doctor told me it was really all my own doing since I was wishing to be pregnant so hard.

I'm crossing my fingers for you. Don't get down if this isn't your month.
