OK... I need advice before i drive myself crazy. 2 months ago i was on the BC Patch. I am a smoker. 2 of my friends that were also on the patch, had strokes. Its the #1 side effect if you smoke. So taking the easier way out i stopped the BC. Last month i thought i was pregnant. for 6 weeks my breasts were tender and I was 2 weeks late for my period. I was urinating often and very tired. I tood several HPT and even a blood test and they all came out neg. the doctor thought it could be an etopic preg. so i had an ultrasound. Neg. Finally i just prayed... either let it come up P or let me get my AF. the next day AF showed up. 2 weeks later... I run into an old flame and we ended up together again. We did it 2 times, the first time he ejaculated in me, the second time he came on me.. around that area. This was last Tuesday. Wed... i felt ovulating cramps. I always feel when i ovulate. Now my breasts are tender and swollen, and i am having light cramping like im gonna get my period but that's not due for another week. I dont want to get myself excited about a pregnancy and come to find out it was all in my head again!!!! I want a baby, but i dont want to believe i am pregnant until i see a positive result. The wait is killing me though!!! Some one please help me! sorry for ranting...

Angel I understand your pain when it comes to the waiting game...however the only thing you can do is wait until your period is overdue before testing. Swollen and tender breasts don't necessarily mean you are having the symptoms of pregnancy as hormones in general can cause all sorts of crazy things to happen with your body, maybe even something to do with coming off the BC Patch.
You also mentioned having this all in your head again which again can lead you to believe that the things you are feeling are definitely pregnancy related. I'm not trying to make you feel that you aren't but just trying to bring things into a clearer perspective for you so you can stay a little more grounded this time.
As for the cramping, anything is possible really. I used to get cramps for only 10 minutes (yeah I know I'm lucky) 1 week prior to AF showing up, however at the time that we conceived I cramped from about 6 days or so after conception until 3.5 weeks later non-stop! I still didn't take that as a pregnancy sign though during the wait before testing, I automatically assumed AF was on her way and was really happy when she decided she wasn't coming at all!
So I guess the only thing you really can do is pray she doesn't come and keep yourself occupied doing things until after your period is overdue by a couple of days at least.
