Don't want to get my hopes up?

Me and my hubby had unprotected sex on Thanksgiving. We have been TTC for over a year. I get my period 2 times a month so it's hard to tell when I am ovulating. I usually get the 2nd period around the 22nd of each month. My first period always comes on the 10th for about 5 days. This time the 2nd period didn't come till the 30th and it was really really light and it was just light brown mucus spotting (sorry TMI). I was supposed to start today and nothing just cramps and I have been constipated my back aches which never happens when I get my period or am about to start. I don't want to get my hopes up but it's odd that my 2nd period was very late and very short and that I haven't started today. I have also had a tight feeling in my lower abdomen when I stand, could that mean something? I want to test but I am scared it will just be another negative.

Any advice :( I'm about to give up hope on us having a baby.

    I've been pregnant five times, so I think I'm a pregnancy expert at this point. And honey, I think you're pregnant. That brown mucus is very normal during pregnancy, also a very light period is normal in the first few months. All of those symptoms are very normal with pregnancy.

    I think you need to take a test! Go out and get one! I am crossing my fingers for you.

    As for me, I've lost all five of my pregnancies...but, we've got a fertility doctor and high hopes.

    Good luck to you, dear! <3
