Could I still be pregnant?

Unfortunately symptoms aren't enough to go by. PMS symptoms can be very similar to early pregnancy ones. It can vary from women to women and from cycle to cycle.

Your BFN was probably too early to be accurate. Have you tested recently?

Agree with PP that symptoms can vary. And I think it could be too early if AF still isn't due for 4 days. What brand of test did you use?

Those tests say that but in actual fact in most cases it's not true. They make that claim based on women who implant early in their TWW and so 5 days before AF is due is actually a few days after implantation. Most women don't implant that early and it can just give you a confusing reading.

If you can get your hands on a FRER (First Response) they're generally the most accurate.

In terms of symptoms, unfortunately they don't mean a lot. Your hormones are all over the place in the TWW even if you've been unsuccessful. I know some cycles I've had symptoms in the TWW and been convinced (mostly I don't get any TWW symptoms) but it's turned out to be a BFN. When you're looking for symptoms and expecting to see them, it's amazing what your body can tell you. But in saying that, you could be pregnant. My MC cycle I had days in my TWW where I felt fine and others I felt terrible. The day I started bleeding I lost all my symptoms.
