I had symptoms (breast tender, cramping, tiredness) and then after 8DPO I feel fine. No spotting yet. Took HPT and had BFNs on 8DPO and 9DPO. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Symptoms can change from cycle to cycle. You aren't without a chance of a bfp. You are likely to be testing too early.

Typically symptoms before a missed period are unreliable anyway as the egg doesn't implant until about 7dpo, your body doesn't even know its pregnant yet!

it's normal and has nothing to do with pregnancy, it's just a part of being a woman, unfortunately. When we are actively TTC we sometimes notice things that we'd have otherwise not.

8 and 9 DPO is way too early to be testing.

Yes most often higher temps after O can indicate pregnancy. BUT, there is still a chance, you're only 12DPO?

pregnancy charts are typically triphasic, meaning that there is the set of temps before O, then a rise at O, then another rise after implantation, so you see three different sets of temps in three different temp ranges, if that makes sense. Fertility friend has a lot of these charts. You wouldn't see that second rise until 14 or 15 DPO, I think.

Pregnancy or not, your post O temps are very eratic for some reason. Were you sick or drinking alcohol or not getting a good night's sleep?

Definitely not sick or drinking alcohol this cycle. But temps have been all over the place. This is the first cycle I have started to temp - but not the first TTC cycle.

Sometimes the times of taking the temp change depending upon the schedule (waking up earlier somedays or sleeping in on weekends), but I use a bbt temperature adjuster to calculate the right temperature.
