Just wishful thinking?

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I'm wondering if I could be pregnant though signs point against it. I've looked through tons of message boards and haven't found an answer. Jill and Kim have a similar discussion going further down this board though. Here goes:

When AF was two days late, I began to wonder if I was pregnant. I didn't want to jump the gun, so I waited 'til the 6th day late to take a HPT. But the later it was, the more sure I was and I started to see sypmtoms -- constipation, dizziness and acne -- but maybe they were coincidental.

The HPT came up negative on the 6th day. I thought it was a false negative because I felt quite certain I was pregnant. I didn't realize how badly I wanted to be until I thought it was possible. A couple hours after taking the HPT, I got AF. That was Monday morning and my period is almost over, which is normal for me. It was a normal length and heaviness, but I'm still feeling dizzy and constipated and now moody and shaky.

Do you think the period and negative test could be flukes or did those six days just get my hopes so high up that it's all psychological now? I don't want to go to the doctor unless I think it's really a possibility that I'm pregnant. I don't want to spend the money if there's no chance and don't want them to think I'm crazy!!

Any thoughts would be appreciated,

Jen
