Been Feeling Weird! AM I PREGNANT?

My husband and I had sex last week (around mid-week) and I noticed that I had forgotten to take a pill. I have been on a generic version of Loestrin FE for several months now and I took the pill I missed the day after with that day's pill. Since Friday, I have had a very low appetite. I consumed only around 900 calories on Friday (only around 500 before doing the AHA 2 mile Heart Walk) and haven't been consuming much more than 1000-1200 calories since. I went into the last set of pills for my period to start on Sunday and I had my period on Monday. I had little to no period on Tuesday and it was completely gone by that evening.  I haven't been really hungry either- I am the type of person who eats pretty healthy- lots of healthy snacks and lots of water, usually a 1300+ calorie diet. I have had a sinus infection (but have taken only a little of Sudafed and Alavert to help) and thought my loss of appetite might be due to that. But then I have been getting very tired as well. I attributed this to the craziness in my life- working and a test in my graduate class this week along with other obligations and home maintenance issues. I have lost nearly 10 lbs in the last few weeks and yesterday I started getting hot and cold flashes. I felt very exhausted and sickly. A couple of my friends asked if I was okay because they noticed my change in weight and said I looked tired. Both told me to go take a pregnancy test. So I headed to the drug store and bought the test. I know I drank a bunch of water (as I always do) and then I took the test. It came back negative...is it possible it was a false negative due to the amount of water and/or timing of the test?

wait a second if your period was monday oct.22nd then you would be way to early right now to test...you wouldnt of even ovulated untill about at least sunday....and you wouldnt even get a + on a hpt till about nov 18th so either ,it wasnt ur period and u could be pregnant from last month or your cycles are screwed up cause the b/c pill and ur just randomly spotting ...

so the fact is the answer probably is no ur not pg cause if u think u got pg last week and are gonna test positive this week ur probably crazy or just need to learn about ovulating and things....im not trying to sound harsh just trying to help out
