pregnancy symptoms but negative tests?

my husband and i are ttc. We had sex the last day of my period and a week after we had sex i started feeling exhausted to where i would sleep constantly, i would get bad headaches, i would get nausea and get dizzy whenever i would get up or stand up for a while. last week into this week i started getting cramps and backaches with the same symptoms as above. They come and go. My period doesn't start for another week and i took 2 pregnancy tests already and they were all negative. its such a weird feeling, i feel like i always have butterfly's in my stomach. I never got car sick but now i tend to. I go to bed so early now when before it would be midnight or 1am. Plus my dreams have gotten incredibly strange and i remember them the next morning. Some may wake me up in a panic but it has nothing to do with a baby. within the past couple of nights ive been waking up several times in the middle of the night to use the bathroom when i never used to before. I'm starting to think im crazy.
Does/did anyone feel this way and ended up pregnant?

I do know when I ovulate, it was July 25th to Aug 1, but I was also talking to a family friend who's a doctor and she said that it could have been enough time? I don't know, its just difficult and frustrating.

It's doubtful you would have gotten pregnant from that encounter. A female generally ovulates two weeks before her cycle starts. This would place ovulation at around 1 week ago. (If you have a week left before you're due) If you're TTC, you would need to learn when you ovulate and have sex every other day on your fertile days. A female with a typical 28 day cycle will usually ovulate on or around CD 14.

Desire to be pregnant can be all it takes to start having "pregnancy" symptoms. This is why symptoms are a very poor judge of pregnancy or not. Not only is it extremely uncommon you would ovulate that early, implantation also doesn't occur that fast---and until you have implantation nothing from pregnancy is felt. Wait until your period is due and take a pregnancy test with first morning urine.
