Am I just hoping for too much?

Most people ask "am I pregnant?" And maybe they're just being paranoid because you can't really know until you miss your period, right? I don't know my body well. I've always had a poor memory when it comes to these things, but I just feel different this month. My period should be coming any day now (if not already). I took a test this morning that said I'm not pregnant. But I'm not really crampy at all, but my breasts are sore and heavy. I've been CRAZY thirsty. Even last night, we had the air conditioning on full blast, I woke up in the middle of the night sweating (I've always been a bit of a "heater" but this is ridiculous) and I just had to guzzle half a bottle of water. I've always been really bad with not getting enough water but lately I've been drinking more than a whole seltzer bottle. I don't know what that means (it's not like there is a heat wave anymore). Also, acne broke out like crazy, much more than usual. My nose is crazy stuffed - but that could just be allergies, which have been really bad this summer.
I do know that a few times, after my husband and I made love, my period came right away. (I read that the muscle contractions, etc, can get your period going). Not to sound weird, but I tried that again and nooothing. Some brown discharge (VERY LITTLE) but my period did not start the next day like I thought it would.

Am I just crazy? Should I just take a deep breath and be patient?

Well, I thought my period started today. It was very light and it's all but stopped now. It's usually heavy the first day. So I don't know if that's stress related or if that actually means anything.

Thanks! I will keep you posted. So far no period. I'll see how it goes over the weekend then I will probably take another test and go see the doctor.

Thank you!

You don't sound crazy to me! lol Sometimes it can take up to two weeks of a missed period to get a positive result on a hpt..Thats what I'm waiting on right now I'm pretty sure I'm preggers.. you sound preggers too..If you want faster results you have to go and have blood drawn otherwise you have too wait and yes that *****! lol but you have those options also if you decide to wait make sure you test early in the morning!! Good luck I'd love to hear an update! ")
