Did I possibly test too early?

I suffered a miscarriage that resulted in a d&c on feb 25th. I spoke with my dr about trying again immediately and she advised that as long as I felt ready after the two week period, I could try again. *I do not need any convincing on whether this is a good/bad idea, I trust what my dr says and I have made up my mind regardless.
according to my ovulation calendar, my ovulation dates would have been mar 7-12, the 11th being my most fertile.(this is based on the day of the d&c being my last period date and also assuming I have a 28 day cycle)
Today would be 8dpo and I have read to wait until atleast 12dpo so, I understand that I am getting my hopes up but, I have had a very small amt of nausea today(1st time) and had cramping in my lower back last week, along with what I thought may have been a possible sign of implantation bleeding.Hard to say if that was the case since I do not recall having any of this with my other pregnancies. 2 successful births 13 yo and 10 yo, 7 wks when I miscarried.
I thought for sure when I felt the sickness that I was ready to test and of course it was a BFN! Has anyone else tested 8 dpo, got a BFN only to test again 5 days later and get a BFP? Just hoping someone else has gone through all this. Thanks for the encouragement!

My bd days were on the 6th, 10th, 11th,and 13th.  I figured it was too early and I am preparing myself for the possibility that I have psyched myself up to thinking I have pregnancy symptoms. It is all so new to me since my other pregnancies were never planned and I never had to think about any of this dpo, ewcm, af dates, etc. It is all so overwhelming now that I have experienced the loss and my fear of it happening again makes me over think everything regarding my body.  Either way, thanks to u and jschoch8 for responding and who knows...maybe in a few days I will be able to say that I have a BFP! I know its unlikely but atleast I am trying to stay positive, lol.

Sorry if this is too personal- but were you BDing even after you expected to ovulate?

I've had two D&Cs and didn't get my period for 5/5.5 weeks after.  Prior to those I was like a calendar for a 29day cycle. It may be that your body isn't quite 'regular' again immediately.

I hope you get your BFP, but I would give it some more time. Good luck!

Def too early. With one pregnancy I didnt get a positive until 13 dpo and the second 12 dpo and they were very faint.  Wait a few days and good luck!
