Possible Pregnancy & Feeling Guilty

My hubby and I have been TTC for the past few months, although this particular month we actually tried NOT to conceive because we were going on a family vacation where alcohol and difficult hiking were involved, so when we did have sex, we used protection. Well, as you can see from my chart, I felt super nauseous for a out a half hour a few days after my ovulation, and randomly again for a little over a week afterwards. Of course this was the week of the vacation. I didn't think anything of the nausea, I just assumed it was because of me being in a car ride for 8 hours, among other things. But the week that my period was supposed to start I fet an increase in sex drive, and it seemed like my cervix and cervical fluid weren't adding up to where it was supposed to be for an upcoming period. My BBT temps were also continuing to rise, which I thought was odd. I was supposed to get my period yesterday and I still haven't gotten it, and I'm also not getting the phantom period that I usually feel beforehand. I'm planning on taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning to make sure. What do you all think based on my chart? Not going to lie, I'm not only happy thinking I could be pregnant, but also extremely scared because I wasn't taking any vitamins on vacation and I was also drinking a moderate amount of alcohol. I'm worried that if I am pregnant that I've already messed up my future baby from being careless. I haven't told my husband my thoughts yet, so I feel like I'm keeping all this worry/guilt/curiosity/possible joy to myself. The month where we specifically tried not to get pregnant may be possibly the month where we did get pregnant. Here I was thinking I was being responsible by using protection because I knew we would be drinking and doing vigorous outdoor activities, and now I'm feeling guilty. Any thoughts, advice, or even just calming words would be greatly appreciated! I will update everyone tomorrow after I take a test.

I have not heard that vigorous excerise is harmful to a fetus during the two week wait. I don't know enough about alcohol and fetal develpoment to comment on that, though, sorry.
I do hope you get the BFP you were hoping for! Keep us posted!

Don’t worry about the drinks. Even I had a couple of afternoons of 2 drinks during my 2WW, but from everything I’ve read, it doesn’t reach the baby at that early stage. And don’t worry about not taking your vitamins/prenatals for your time away. If you were taking them before (& now) you should be fine! Many women don’t even START taking them until they find out they are pregnant, so you already have the advantage of extra stores. Good luck!! :)
