Scared to get my hopes up

Rae
So I've always had an irregular menstral which switches up randomly so when I missed my period I figured it was just late but then it still hasn't come. But I'm still cramping. I'm having the same symptoms I have before I start menstral plus the tender nipples and I've had two positive tests but something inside tells me not to get my hopes up and that I'm going to start my menstral or is it just paranoia?
