Um so hi
I don't really know where to begin so I will just ramble and see how it goes.
In May, I had a terrible time, convincing myself I was pregnant and then not pregnant, and going through pros and cons and such in my head. I didn't see my bf after the possible conception because I was stuck in my own world.
My instinct is to go into extreme detail but I'll just stick to the basics:
I was ovulating the day my bf and I dtd, and my period tracker app (which is incredibly accurate - it's weird) stated I was due a period 14 days later. So yeah, basically I had the standard TWW to endure (which at that point I had no idea was a Thing, but quickly found out about it after hours/days of researching this whole world), only, because I'm so new to this (and am quite the hypochondriac) I just fell into all these habits I guess I imagined a pregnant person would have? Like I'd justify putting off workouts with "I can't do that if I'm pregnant!", and eating a bunch of crap because "hey I'm eating for two now!". I'd also link any sort of bad feeling with it, like if I felt sick I'd think "this is not normal for me I'm probably definitely pregnant". So I'd put off my exercise that keeps me sane, I'd eat all the food that makes me insane after I've consumed it, I'd deny myself caffeine and on top of that my head was trying to DECIDE whether or not I was pregnant because I hated waiting (because that totally works...).
I caved and did an HPT a day before my period was due and it was a BFN, so I tried to make my brain just SHH about the whole thing, but then my period didn't come. I kept doing tests, I ended up doing about five altogether?? All negative. Even though I FELT pregnant. Or at least very very different. And I like to think I know my body.
I'm wondering how common hysterical pregnancies are? Because if they're not, then I'm absolutely convinced that the tests were wrong and when I got my "period" two weeks late it wasn't a period at all.
