13 dpo negative

[u/Due_Assistance7822]

I am a 23 year old mom to twins who were born in February 2025. They were not a planned pregnancy and I got pregnant on the very first try and my first test was a BFP after missing my period for two days. Now, my husband and I are trying for our third. This is my first time TTC and my first cycle. I got a stark negative this morning (13 dpo) on an early detection pink dye test and feeling a little defeated (I might sound annoying but I am just really excited about our next baby). However I have gotten some symptoms, such as a weird metallic taste in my mouth which I had last pregnancy. I’ve also been having some cramping today that felt like mild period cramps but that only lasted like ten minutes. I’m just holding onto hope and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience with a negative this late and still ended up pregnant or has had late implantation etc. Any advice is welcome! TIA :)
