Do you think you might be pregnant at 11 dpo? Here are some possible pregnancy signs to watch out for!

 Most people suspect that they might be pregnant after missing their period. If you have been pregnant before, you know what to expect, but a new potential parents-to-be might not know that sometimes the early pregnancy symptoms are just PMS.

So, how can you tell if you’re which is which when you are so eager to experience pregnancy symptoms and know that it's actually pregnancy? The below guide can help.

As always, wishing you the very best of luck!

Early signs of pregnancy and pregnancy symptoms at 11 dpo to watch out for

There are some early signs of pregnancy that can start as early as 11 days past ovulation (11 dpo). Just because you're feeling a little off doesn't mean you're pregnant, but it's something to keep in mind if you're trying to conceive.

Here are some of the most common symptoms in the early stages.

Here are some symptoms of early pregnancy

  • changes in mood or energy level
  • cramps or spotting
  • breast tenderness
  • nausea or vomiting
  • increased urination

Not every pregnancy is the same at 11 dpo

If you're trying to conceive, it's important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy and understand that not everyone is the same. What might be severe symptoms for some women might go unnoticed by you.

Also, keep in mind that not everyone experiences every symptom at 11 dpo, and some people experience different symptoms at different stages of pregnancy. There are no two pregnancies alike!

If you have any concerns, be sure to speak with your doctor.

Mood swings and pregnancy symptoms at 11 dpo

Negative pregnancy test 11 dpo first response

Women's health and pregnancy symptoms may vary from woman to woman. Some women experience no symptoms at all in the early weeks of pregnancy.

Others have symptoms that are very similar to PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

The most common symptoms include fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, and menstrual period unless pregnancy occurs. At 11 dpo, you might start to notice some, or even all, of these early pregnancy signs.

Early pregnancy symptoms and signs - it can be similar to PMS

There are some signs that a woman might be pregnant during the first week of the luteal phase. We've listed the most common below.

Some key pregnancy symptoms at 11 dpo can include

  • missed period
  • nausea
  • morning sickness/aversion to food
  • fatigue
  • breast tenderness
  • changes in the menstrual cycle

Not everyone experiences the same symptoms at 11 dpo and some people experience different symptoms at different stages of pregnancy. It's key that you listen to your body and know what seems unusual to you.

A few more early pregnancy symptoms to watch out for at 11 dpo:

  • breast tenderness
  • bloating
  • food cravings
  • increased nipple sensitivity
  • headaches and muscle aches
  • morning sickness
  • fewer bowel movements
  • tiredness
  • mood swings
  • implantation bleeding

However, some early pregnancy symptoms may also occur in those who are not pregnant. This is because of the increased levels of progesterone that are present during the last stages of the menstrual cycle.

Get advice from your healthcare professional

If you are concerned, get checked out by a healthcare professional to determine the cause of your symptoms and to rule out pregnancy.

How do pregnancy tests work?

The advice says to wait until day 14 post-ovulation for the most accurate results at 11 dpo, you're not far off so consider waiting that few extra days to be sure.

However, if you choose to test sooner, make sure to follow the instructions. The tests you can buy over the counter work by checking your urine (pee) for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

A woman’s body produces higher levels of this hormone when she’s pregnant, and the tests work on a cutoff level to say whether you are pregnant or not.

Although these tests are reliable, it’s always recommended to follow up a home urine test with a test at your doctor to make sure you’re pregnant.

When you're ready to take the test, most of them work with these simple steps:

- Remove the test from its foil wrapper and follow the instructions.

- Holding the absorbent tip pointing down, place the test in your urine stream for at least five seconds.

- Wait for the test line to appear.

How common is a false negative pregnancy test?

A false negative pregnancy test occurs when you are actually pregnant, but the result of the test says you’re not. There are a few reasons why you might get a false negative on pregnancy tests.

You only need a tiny amount of urine to get an accurate result for a positive pregnancy test. The more diluted your urine is (if you’ve recently drunk a lot of water or in particular ‘diuretics’ such as coffee, tea or alcohol), the harder it is for the test to pick up on the hCG hormone at a level which will trigger a positive result. So, bear this in mind when testing.

They could also occur with an expired test strip.

You also need to be aware that you can be pregnant, but if you test too soon before the hCG levels have built up in your urine then you will get a negative result. This is not really a false negative but just a case of testing too soon.

Positive pregnancy test

Home pregnancy tests are usually accurate, but researchers estimate that up to 5% of tests give a false negative.

Is it positive? If so, congratulations! Make sure to drink plenty of water and look after yourself. Put YOU first during this time.

If it's negative, consider taking another test in a few days. Again, the recommendation is to wait until 14 DPO.

Can you have a negative pregnancy test at 11 DPO and still be pregnant?

11 DPO BFN (Big Fat Negative): Negative pregnancy signs However, for some people, pregnancy may occur without experiencing any early pregnancy symptoms at all. If you took a pregnancy test 11 DPO and got a BFN, it could be a false negative test result. To make sure, repeat testing on the following days.

Can you get a negative pregnancy test 12 DPO and still be pregnant?

If you get a negative pregnancy test at 12 DPO, it may not be final. A negative result at 12 DPO isn't always accurate — especially if the pregnancy test doesn't detect lower levels of hCG. Many at-home tests are most effective at determining pregnancy from the date your period was supposed to start.

Is 11 days after conception too early to test?

According to the American Pregnancy Association, blood tests for hCG levels should be accurate 11 days after conception, while it would be best to wait 12–14 days before taking a urine test. Taking a pregnancy test too early may give inaccurate results.

How many DPO is first response accurate?

A: The FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test is designed to detect hCG as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before day of the expected period).
