Symptoms and BFN's - Light AF's, etc.

I think it's safe to assume that the only thing one can do is wait. I've been lurking and reading a lot of posts here for a while. But I do notice a trend for sure. I know it's not the popular opinion - certaintly not the one you want to hear either, but if you are having symptoms it doesn't mean you're pregnant. The desire to have a baby can give you those symptoms. I know. Trust me. I've been "so sure" I was pregnant several times in the last year. We create our world and are happy to live there until AF comes and pops our bubble. As far as BFN's if you are taking a HPT before your AF is due, generally, you are just wasting money. There is no substitute for time. Time will reveal. Patience.

Light AF's along with BFN's - just assume you're not PG. With my experience and AF witha BFN no matter how light the AF still means an AF.

This is just my opinion. I've been in the same boat before and am not trying to cast doubt into your laps but just a little bit of painful reality so your hopes don't get crushed further down the road. I am in the meantime waiting on my AF and if anyone has any info on Af's right after getting off BC please let me know.

Thanks
