Frustrated with my body - pregnant or no?

Hello! I thank anyone who answers this in advance :)

I am 24, and have never been pregnant before. Last month, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on the 13th and 23rd of August. My cycle started on the 2nd or 3rd. I have somewhat regular cycles - 30 days or so. They are always VERY heavy though - and I get quit ill feeling the first two days of my period.

Last Wednedsday I noticed bad PMS symptoms...but now it seems to have turned in to more. Headaches, breasts a little swollen and slightly more sensitive. I am having difficulty having a bowel movement, and I am SO tired. I also am STILL blolated. I have nausea and heartburn, but it seems to hit me at night - which I don't think has anything to do with pregnant, although I do not feel great in the morning either lol. I spotted VERY lightly for 3 days or so - and by lightly I mean I never even needed a pantiliner. I started spotting around a week after by period *should have* been due. I could be miscalculating, as I am not actively TTC. I have taken quite a few home tests, and they have come back negative, but I guess I just don't believe it. I would actually prefer not to be pregnant at this time, but if I am it would still be a blessing. I'm just frustrated and don't know where to turn. It has now been 19 days since unprotected sex last occurred. I have medical insurance at my job, but it doesn't kick in until October 1st. Any help? Does anyone think I could be pregnant and just getting negatives on the home tests? Ugh. I just need an answer lol - and I will be happy either way :) Thanki you!!!

Ugh - I just hate this lol. Everything I read online seems to be teenagers freaking out - convincing themselves they have symptoms or something - I am seriously ok with it either way - just sick of feeling like **** and not knowing why! I wish my insurance was in effect now!

You could try a planned parent hood or tapestry..they do free testing & sometimes you can see a dr. for free through them or the can refer you to one! They might be able to answer way more questions then any of us can too! It sounds like you have some of the syptoms but it could also be something else.

Today the headache is unreal, but I didn't want to take anything for fear of possibly being pregnant. Going to take another test in the morning...

You might want to go to the ob for a hcg blood test.  Your levels have to be a certain number before they will show positive.  having a bloody discharge could be implantation bleeding.  Better go get it checked out to be safe.  I was neg on mine when i was spotting but when i went to the dr I was pregnant but my levels were very low.

I am still having a small amount of a pinkish discharge, like blood mixed with the mucousy discharge I had earlier this week...
