this tww is absolutely overrated. I mean, if AF is coming, just come already! This back and forth is killing me.

There has been one other time that I absolutely really thought I was pregnant. I wasn't. Crazy how your body can lie to you. I think the real evil of pregnancy symptoms is that they mirror PMS. Evil, evil.

This is my second real time to seriously think it is a possibility.

2 weeks ago, I was on a lovely Mexico vacation with my DH. As you can imagine, we had some fun. =)

Since we have gotten home though my body has just been weird. I keep thinking if I am not pregnant, than I must be coming down with something. Because I just feel weird.

My first trigger that made me question something is the fact that for more than a week I have been battling constipation. I can't think of a singular other time in my life where I have had a constipation issue for more than a day or two. I am very regular, and so this is definitely strange. It isn't painful constipation, just a real slow movement of my bowels. (TMI, I know)

I have had lower back pain for that entire time as well. Not extremely uncomfortable, not cramping like it is when I have PMS, just enough that I notice it. Like I worked out my lower back and it is sore.

The other big unusual thing is that I am crazy emotional. Like most of the day I am really really happy... (a happy that I haven't been in a long time). Like giddy happy. And then the next moment I could literally sob. And in fact, I have. A lot in the past week and a half. ??? What the heck? I cry easily, but the tears don't usually come this often. But probably the strangest is the "high" happy I have been. Two completely different ends of the spectrum. High and low.

I can't think of the abbreviation for this but I have had a creamy white mucus discharge (TMI). Not a lot, just a little bit every time I use the restroom. It reminds me somewhat of ovulation discharge but not near as creamy or as much quantity. It isn't a color though, just white/clear. I'm just not use to seeing that when AF is due.

I drink a lot of water so I haven't noticed more urination or that I'm thirsty more... today is the first day that I have had any sort of breast tenderness (but that could be PMS).... headaches are a daily thing for me anyway, so that isn't unusual...

IDK, I am so afraid of getting my hopes up that one moment I think "yes, this could be it" to the next moment telling myself that my body is just messed up like it was last time. That I am not and should not get my hopes up.

I am on CD 29. I am regular, but regular in the sense that my AF always comes between CD 28 and CD 33.

So I have until the end of this week before I would consider myself late.

Yesterday I got a BFN. I have vowed not to take another one until Thursday (CD 31).

But at this point I just want to know. If not, AF please come so that I can deal with it and move on. This in between SUCKS!!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean! The Two week wait is enough to make me insane. My DH and I are also TTC our first.
I took two trips in August. My sisters and I went on a girl’s trip to the Bahamas during my period. Less than two weeks later my husband and I went to Mexico for a week.
When we returned home I thought for sure I was pregnant. I was experiencing symptoms I've never had before: headaches, sore BBs, constipation, cramps, and excessive thirst. I was so convinced i started to buy baby clothes!
AF ended up rearing her ugly head 5 days early! I was sooo upset. I went to the doctor and found out i that i had an infected salivary gland (explains the excessive thirst). I also had some GI issues from the not-so-healthy food I had been eating (explains the cramping, constipation). To top it off I think i gained 5lbs. At least we had a fabulous vacation.
I now refuse to get my hopes up. Hopefully your situation is different. Did you get your BFP????? I hope so and I'm sending some baby dust your way!
