Am I crazy, pregnant, both or neither?

Ok, here's the thing. On Tuesday I had sex with my fiance and the condom slipped. According to my menstrual calendar I was most likely ovulating that day. I usually feel ovulation, as I am very sensitive to hormonal changes but I didn't think about it that day, been busy at work and such. Maybe I just didn't notice it or anything.
But the next day around noon I started feeling rather "weird", don't know how to explain it. I suddenly became very tired and my head started spinning, I thought I was going to faint, bude fortunately didn't. My boss noticed I wasn't feeling well and sent me home early. I slept for about three hours, felt better for a while, but went to bed after an hour or two.
The next I started having cramps as if my period was coming, but that was impossible at that time. It was also much stronger than my usual ovulation cramps would be. I googled it and found out it could be pregnancy sign, nonetheless this would be way too early. In the evening my breasts started to hurt like crazy, as if they were trying to burst from the inside. I almost cried because of the pain.
I was trying not to think about it, but I couldn't, the whole Friday I was like a zombie, the only thing I wanted to do was lie down and close my eyes. In the evening I was lying in bed and wanted to cry for no particular reason. The cramps continued too. Today is Saturday, I woke up feeling very refreshed and managed to actually stop thinking about the pregnancy possibility, but seems only during the morning.
I didn't tell anyone about this, not even my fiance, because I don't want to be spreading false truths around. The first two days I was like comletely sure I AM pregnant, right now I am not. And there is no way of finding out. Not until the implantation occurs according to what I read. So I am trying to wait patiently but it's making me go crazy. I just have to tell someone and this seemed like a good place because it's anonymous.
I don't really need an answer to anything. I read a few questions and answers here and it seems there certainly are women who felt signs of pregnancy before implantaion and generaly very soon after conceiving and were pregnant, it wasn't "just their head". I guess I just need to vent.
Also I am not sure if to be happy about the child, it's a bit early for us to have one but I wanted one for several years by now and we wouldn't have any problem taking care of it. It's just that it's so sudden and unexpected. And it might all be in my head... maybe I really am crazy...

Really, a sudden onset of symptoms right after sex isn't indicative of pregnancy.  :>)  It takes a while for symptoms to build as it is the hormones of pregnancy that causes them and the pregnancy needs to get going for them to accumulate enough to do anything.  That's why week 6 to 7 is the typical week a woman will start to have morning sickness.  It takes that long to have enough hormones to create the symptom.  So, I think you are hyper focusing on your body due to feeling anxious and feeling every little thing.  Try not to be anxious.  I understand, an unplanned pregnancy is scary. But you'll just have to wait until the day your period was due to see.  Then you can take a test if it doesn't show up.  Don't try to read your body.  Most women are fooled by that as early pregnancy has very few real signs. The test is the way to know.   good luck
