Help! CD40, no af, bfn

Hello all!

I am new to this forum and am in need of some advice.

My husband and I are TTC for our first :)

I have been freaking out the past week because I am so late and yet I don't have any signs of a period coming and get a bfn every morning that I test.

Here is my background:
Stopped hormonal birth control pill in July (was on it for 2.5 years). I took my last hormonal pill on July 26th, by July 30th my period started and it lasted for 4 days. We did not actively TTC the month of August, but we weren't very careful either. But, we wanted to have a natural period come before actively TTC because we read it was potentially healthier. Anyway, I went on to have a 35 day cycle until finally my period showed up on September 3rd. It lasted for 4 days.

Now, by September I had done a lot of research and started really charting things. I have a really erratic work and sleep schedule so temping doesn't work for me so I was going to try tracking CM.

Here is what the month looked like (keep in mind this is the first time I have ever tracked CM so I'm not sure what exactly is creamy, sticky, egg white, etc. and I was using my best possible judgement).

September 14th - experienced back pain that felt like "period pain"
15th + 16th - negative LH tests
17th - clumpy CM
18th - creamy CM
19th - negative LH test, creamy and sticky CM
20th - very little CM, not stretchy or sticky
23rd - egg white CM
24th - egg white CM
25th - less stretchy CM
26th - "gooey" CM, slightly stretchy
27th + 28th CM not so stretchy and less in amount
29 - sticky clear CM, not much; negative HPT
30 - lots of creamy CM (looked like creamy lotion)
October 1 - scant CM/drier
2nd - lower back "period" pain
4th - BFN
5th - BFN; lots of white creamy CM; experienced nausea at night (icky tummy but didn't throw up)

This type of not throwing up but icky tummy feeling continues this point forward

6th - BFN; nauseau at night; lots of slippery CM
7th - BFN; pantiliner really wet with CM, cramps,

lower back pain starts here and continues on until the end

from here on was SUPER bloated and moody; also I tend to be really gassy before my period and haven't had that, but I've been constipated and that is weird for me

8th - BFN, almost egwcm?? what the heck this late in the cycle?; BFN,
9th - BFN; lots of goopy CM, not stretchy, very bad back pain
10 - BFN; lots of gloopy CM, not stretchy, bad back pain (woke me up in middle of night)
11th - very bad back pain! pantiliner wet with CM

I wish I had kept up with the ovulation predictor tests, but forgot :(

So, so far I haven't had any symptoms that I normally get when AF is coming (sore breasts, diarhea, bloating).

Instead I've been experiencing this weird nausea where my tummy is sick feeling but I don't actually throw up, I've been constipated (but haven't changed diet, exercise), have been dizzy if I get up too fast, and my joints have been achy. Also, worst lower back pain I've experienced in a very long time!

Anyone know what could be going on? I say my doc on the 29th for a physical so I don't know if I'm ready to call her up in panic mode so soon.

So frustrated. I just want to know what is going on. At this point, if I'm not pregnant, I just want to know how to get AF here so I can TTC again.
