TTC, think I'm pregnant but bfn

Hi there! I'm new to the community but I just needed someone to vent to, I guess. 
We are ttc, have been since about the beginning of this year. 
Something about this past month made me just really believe that I'm pregnant. I just feel it. My period was light a couple weeks ago. 
The last period that I know was a period started August 30. So I guess I would be about 6 weeks, if I am. 
But I keep getting BFN. 
This week, I started getting lightheaded at work and feeling nauseous at times. I've been having to make myself eat because of the nausea is making me just not want to eat. I also had signs earlier, like my breasts feeling heavy and tender. Some of these earlier signs are things that I know can be signs of AF, but they aren't things that I've ever experienced before AF.

But since I keep getting BFN, I just feel crazy. But something inside me keeps telling me to hold onto this hope that I have that I'm one of those women that doesn't get a BFP until late in their pregnancy or never. I'm trying to just keep waiting it out and take a test once a week. Since we've been trying, I've been taking prenatal vitamins and trying to eat healthy and quit drinking alcohol, so right now, I am still doing all of those things, just in case.

    BFN means not pregnant at this time.  From what I have heard on here from other ladies, your cycles can change all the time, so just because you never had PMS symptoms before, doesn't mean you can't get them randomly for another cycle.  Keep testing once a week until AF or BFP.  If you don't get AF in 60 days, go to the doctor.  Good luck.

    Also, careful making posts like this, they don't always sit well with the crowd.  I would recommend introducing yourself and checking out the TWW threads in TTGP.


    ETA: change crown to crowd...it was early!

    As I am new here, although I have done some looking around this website and the forum, I don't know what you mean by the crown. Sorry if I didn't follow the right protocol but I don't think I broke any of the forum rules.
    I am just looking for some support and understanding. I think that I mentioned that I just feel crazy because I keep getting a bfn, but something inside me says I am pregnant. I understand what bfn means.
    Nevermind though. I thought I might receive a different type of response but I seemed to join the wrong boards. Sorry for taking up space on your boards and sorry to the crown, whatever that is.

    OP, I don't mean to sound harsh at all but don't give yourself false hope.  If the pregnancy tests indicated you're not pregnant, your're not pregnant.  It is rare for a test not to be able to detect the hormone until later in the pregnancy, especially these days where so many test can detect it early.  Months of TTC can make you batty but it's best to distract yourself with other things you enjoy.

    Negative pregnancy test = not pregnant at this time. The trying to get pregnant board has really good information on TTC pinned at the top. Go check it out. Also, pre-period symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms. I get sick a lot right before I start my period. Try not to look too much into symptoms. Only a positive test confirms that you're pregnant.

    Lurker over here - I got a false negative until I was 6 weeks pregnant. I even had my yearly at around 5 weeks and told my ob I could be pregnant, took a test there and it came back negative. My doctor told me after I came back that it's possible to have false negatives but never false positives. But I agree with other ladies, one test a week until you get a positive or a period, if neither happens go to your doctor. You're doing EXACTLY what you're supposed to be doing if you are pregnant so don't stress.

    Nope, you aren't pregnant. At 6w, you'd turn a test. You've for a good case of mind fetus though.
