Could it be in my head?

I think because I want it so bad, my symptoms could be in my head? Is that possible? I am having hardcore symptoms,  though. Headache, frequent urination, slight cravings, stomach pains, back ache and I had a really light 3 day period, that's not normal for me..
I took 2 tests and they came out negative ..
Is it just wishful thinking?

I think that's the only symptom I really don't have. My boobs, well boob, hurts every now and than, but they don't feel sore like most pregnant women claim they get.
But I do have back pain, head aches, frequent urination and my boobs do itch .. Lol..

Well, what do you say about my sort of period. Usually I am really heavy and last 7 days and when it came recently, it was very light and lasted 3 days. The color was a brownish red, again, usual. Even when I'm not thinking about it, I have pain, but the tests show negative.
I don't want all of this to be in my head, but I think it may be.
My husband and I have been trying for quite some time.

Ya I am going thru the exact same thing right now. My period is due in 5 days. Tested 2 days ago and again this morning and both negative. I think I just have my heart set on it that I want to be pregnant so bad I keep thinking I am having tons of symptoms. I know better than to do that too its just so hard!!! But for me its back pain, I had a little spotting 2 days ago, headaches, frequent urination, bloating, constipation, cramping, itchy boobs, extra tired.... But then I have a 9 1/2 month old so I am sure some of the back pain and extra tired is from her... Not sure if my boobs have changed since I am still nursing her and they change all day long as milk comes and goes...

Before I got pregnant, every time my period was late or didn't come, I would think I was FOR SURE pregnant. But I never was. It is completely possible for your body to trick you into thinking you are. If you want it bad enough then your body will make up symptoms. Hopefully this isn't the case for you :) good luck!
