20 dpo... Will it ever turn into a BFP??

This 2ww has turned into a 3ww! There have been times that I have doubted being pregnant (especially with all of the BFNs) and times like today that I know without a doubt there is a baby on the way! Funny thing is that I don't have many symptoms.

At 20 dpo, the only thing I have is increasingly Sore bbs, lower backache, and crazy sleep pattern. As far as the soreness, it only just started lasst night. Last cycle they were sore from 5-13 dpo. Also, Before I ovulated (I totally felt the pain from that AND saw a rise in temps), I would wake up when my preschooler does - 9:30. Every day since the big O, I wake up anywhere between 6 - 7:30 am No matter how much or how little sleep I have had. Been taking naps daily as well.

I know that Cm is not a reliable symptom, but I have been leaking water every day (more so the more water I drink).

The one thing that makes me truly believe I am pregnant is that I am officially 5 days late. I always have a 28-29 day cycle. For my whole adult life (over a decade), it has only changed once - when I was pregnant with my son. Of course I just didn't have it the whole time.

This is the first month I actually ttc, and I cannot agree with a late period and NOT being pregnant. I know I ovulated, I know I have 14 day lps, I know that I was very active during the 6 day window, and have had quite an interesting chart - including sustained temps, triphasic, natural dip at 4 dpo, possible implantation dip at around 8 dpo, and a crazy high temp at 16 dpo - the day before my back started hurting. There is No way there is a cyst or any other reason for my period to be late.

I did have a Beta done today, and they also did a urinalysis (-) of course, so now I am going to be pulling out my hair nervous waiting to hear what my hcg levels are. The nurse told me my blood pressure reading was high today 140/97, and the only explanation I have for it is that I am preggo. The last time it was high was when I was in labor 3 years ago... And I was far from nervous at the doctor's office today.

It's all up to time now because I doubt I will ever get a BFP on a test any time soon. I know I am pregnant, but am so worried about having really low hcg levels with a 3 week gestation. I am also scared that I conceived but something may have gone wrong.
