I can totally relate to how you feel. I have had so many symptoms, cramping, swollen tender breasts, bloating/gassy, headaches, increased sense of smell, fatigue and acne breakout since about 5DPO and I normally do not get any of these symptoms for AF (only cramping the day of and flushed skin).

Now I am at 12DPO. I tested this morning and it was BFN and it really has me depressed, upset, and confused. I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING CRAZY because these symptoms are VERY real and not the norm for me so I just don't understand what is going on. I agree with you that I will feel very devastated if AF comes. I know I didn't answer your question, but I just had to vent my frustration and anxiety, too. Hoping that we both get a miracle BFP. Baby Dust! :-)

I know exactly what you mean. I hate getting my hopes up because then the disappointment is that much worse. But, when you really want a baby and are TTC like a maniac, it's hard NOT to get your hopes up, especially when you notice all kinds of weird/promising "sighns" in the 2WW. A lot of your symptoms sound pretty promising and I know I would have my hopes up too, although I would desperately be trying to keep my excitement in check. So much of TTC and early pregnancy is a mind fvck. Is it AF or am I KU? It's pretty impossible to tell until you test. Soooo, I don't have much advice, I just wanted you to know you're not alone. We all do this to ourselves. Just try to hang in there and keep busy to keep your mind occupied until you can test. Good luck!!

tee hee thanks guys! im trying. but i guess i will keep you guys updated. i still have some time left. i will test only if my Period is late tho. its hard to find a good test on this island. i live in the tropiics in central america. and have to go to the city to get a good one. if i ask my sis to get it for me before she will be like " stop tripping off of this stuff!" lol. so im gonna do what i DONT do best and be patient. thanks for the support. you guysbe sure to keep me informed on your ones as well!!!!
