how would i ever know?

Hi,
We've been trying for 4 months and I'm getting upset w/ my body. I hear a lot of people get the early symptoms like sore breasts, mild mid-cycle cramping, bleeding (implantaiton bleeding), nausea, etc.
Well I get those all the time anyway.
I felt really "weird" for 2 days when supposedly fertilization would occur---cramping
Then yesterday (when it was about implantation time) I was super tired, extremely sore back, nausea, and just felt weird.
Now I'm fine.
I don't know why my body does this but it feels like one big tease and I'm mad.
How will I ever know if I'm pregnant or not except for a late period? Did anyon else have a messed up body like me?

I'm so sorry for all the frustration you are dealing with, If you happen to be pg, it is possible for the symptoms to be there and then not. If yesterday was approx the 8th day, then I'd suggest buying First Response Early Result (2 or 3 pack, there is a coupon for $1 off on their site), and testing on Tuesday or Wednesday and see what you get. If you still feel like it was too early, try again in a couple of days. If you feel like you need to test more often, I'd also buy a couple of the dollar store tests (they are good for the day you miss your period like most) but only cost $1. I am an obsessive tester and they help me relieve some of the waiting anxiety and not run me broke. I am in about the same boat as you except I'm not sure exactly which day I O'd, if it was the 8th, 9th, or 10th because since I did, I didn't dry up like usual. I'm in the same waiting game and it is frustrating, even maddening, I understand. I have had somewhat the same problems with symptoms coming and going except that now, my bbs are still sore and have been that way since Thursday, I'm bloated, have to go pee alot (which could be a urinary tract infection I've been fighting since I had my DS December 31st). I've cramped a little bit, was REALLY tired sometimes, etc. Sometimes people get symptoms and some don't so don't rule it out yet if you think you are. Good luck and I hope you get the results you want.

I'm in the same boat as you. It seems like every month is a new bout of confusion for me!!! LOL
Usually I get sore breasts, bloating, irritability, and spotting about a week before AF arrives.
This time around, my breasts are NOT sore, only the nipples are VERY sensitive and SORE! I have the usual bloating, but this time I've had some mild mid-cycle cramping, frequent urination, and backaches (but ONLY in my right flank region). I also has this weird swollen gland near my thyroid but that only lasted two days but I don't know if it's related or not.
I think I O'd between 7/1 and 7/4. The nipple soreness began on 7/6, so I don't know what to think. AF was due Saturday and was a no-show, but a HPT that morning was a negative.
I HATE THIS WAITING GAME!!! I'm testing on Wednesday morning if AF's still a no show!
Good luck!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.
