TWW, losing my mind, HELP, PLEASE!!?

Question

I am not asking for anyone to tell me if they thing I am pregnant or not, I just need to hear from other people that I am not losing my mind. I have experienced so many symptoms that I have never felt before but I have 5-6 days left until AF. Of course the pregnancy test says BFN, but how could that be when I feel all of this stuff going on. Can my body really be playing these tricks on me to this degree? I am an emotional mess, my b***s are killing me and I feel sick all the time. I KNOW that I need to wait until AF day or after, but I keep telling myself that if I feel symptoms this severe that the hormones must by high in my body. But then again, if AF shows up and then the tests are negative, how do I keep my head on straight knowing that by body and mind are playing these cruel tricks on me? This has been the longest 8 days of my life and I just want to throw Darden's Quick and Easy pregnancy test that says it can detect HgH 7-10 days after conception against the wall. Conception - does that mean the day of s*x or implantation? HELP!!!

Answer 1

Conception is technically implantation.  Unfortunately, the process certainly takes some patience.  It's so hard to tell when you are hyper-sensitive to what is going on in your body.  Over the past few months of TTC, I have felt some strange and weird symptoms, but af came every time!  It is frustrating--I know! Good luck.

Answer 2

I was on the two week wait website earlier, reading the early signs bit. and most of the girls on there were getting BFP's @ 14dpo so i would wait a little longer sweetie,  

Answer 3

I know it is difficult to be patient, but my pregnancies never showed up on an early pregnancy test until a few days after my period should have arrived.  I am trying to conceive also and it does drive you nuts to wait, so I really do understand.  Unfortunately I lost both of mine early in term (both this year) and I look forward to trying again in a few months.  Try to keep busy, but be aware of what is going on with your body.  I know I am super sensitive to any symptoms - hang in there and good luck!

Answer 4

I'm in the tww for the first time.  I see a lot of people have symptoms but I'm the opposite b/c I feel no different so I just don't know what to think.  I've pretty much been able to put it out of my mind.  

I believe conception is when you actually have implantation which can take about a week from the time you've ovulated and had s*x.  So it seems you are going to have to wait a bit longer.  

My dr told me that I don't need to waste money on pregnancy tests, just call and go in for a test when I've missed my period.  If I do miss I think I'll still get a hpt just to see.  Anyway I don't know one way or the other at this point, so it is a big waiting game!  Good luck to you!

PS Isn't strange that nature gives us similar symptoms for pregnancy AND AF?? :-)
