Hi, just letting you know I had a tubal in 2003..BUT got pregnant again with an ECTOPIC Pregnancy in 2006 & then a SECOND Ectopic in 2008 & YES had all the same normal pregnant symptoms, even a positive test..but you DO need to test becuase these can be DANGEROUS, especially if they ruture like mine did (BOTH) emergency surgery IS required & they are PAINFUL, but you MOST definatley will have normal pregnancy symptoms starting with a late period...my eggs were in my tubes one was 8 wks & one was 10 wks...but get checked out, because I am proof it can happen....twice!!!

Goodluck!!!!

I dont know your age... but could it be menopause? (sorry i dont think i spelt it properly)
My mom freaked out many years ago when she skipped her period, went to the doctor and was told that she was entering menopause so... perhaps it's a possibility?

If your period is 2 weeks late, take a pregnancy test.  It should be very accurate.

Its not at all likely that you are pregnant, but not impossible.

So test, and see your doctor regardless about your other symptoms.
