Might be pregnant

Came off the pill almost two months ago. First period was about right, maybe a little early, but normal. Now, this month, I'm two weeks late. Took a test, nothing. So, I was like okay I'm not. Then I started feeling swollen in that area and cramping started to happen as well. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often. At first, it was every so often and now it's happening a lot more. So, I ended up taking 3 more tests and nothing happened. Still no period. So, I'm tired of trying to figure it out by talking to people and just waiting. So, I called the doctor and am going for a blood test. I will be so happy if I am, but we will see what my results are tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Knowing

Well me & my boyfriend have been on and off for sometime now. And we had one of those moments and then booom! I started bleeding while having sex. We were both unsure what it was. Then we researched it then and I visited my doctor. I was 6 weeks pregnant, it's normal for that.

My early pregnancy story

We tried for over an year before we got pregnant...I think it’s first GOD’S GRACE and HIS BLESSINGS and he knows the right time for you. So u just hang in there pray a lot and try for one year without any prejudice. Fuel up on your folic acid and see get your husband’s semen viscosity checked, if everything else or both of you are normal...

My early pregnancy signs

I went off birth control and I wanted to make sure I was off bc for at least 2 months to allow my cycles to be natural so I could calculate my ovulation dates better. I knew my cycle had returned to a normal state when I got my period 4 days earlier than I used to. On bc my period was like clock work!! In trying to get pregnant I checked for all the signs-calculated ovulation, cervical mucus and tuning into my body during ovulation (i.e. sharp cramps). Here were my pregnancy signs:

1-6 dpo-extremely tired-I mean falling asleep watching TV. At 7:30 p.m., yawning all day long at work
7-8 dpo-very twingy cramps (1 was enough to wake me up), and nipples were sore and had strange shooting feelings in my left breast. My breasts just looked fuller and felt heavier. Just felt I needed to cry and I cried like crazy! Still super tired
9-11 dpo-felt very nauseous and occasionally dizzy. At this point I would usually start PMS cramps and did not get any
12 dpo-nauseous, very tingly feeling in vaginal area
I did a test and got a very distinct +.

For every symptom I felt I tried to rationalize-oh, I'm just tired, what I ate disagreed with me, maybe by breasts get sore in PMS, etc. I was trying to prepare for a negative so I wouldn't be disappointed. In hindsight although these symptoms could be PMS, but I never got strong PMS symptoms until at least 3 days before my period.

My husband and I are ttc. It has been 7 months now and when I came off the pill I just expected to be pregnant right away.. That didnt happen, as my periods are not regular. I haven't had a period for 55 days now and a neg test. I am driving myself crazy thinking about it. I am not sure what to do?
