Possibly pregnant but still getting periods?

I am 19 years old and I am using Ortho Evra patch for contraception and I have been for five months. I have never been pregnant before, but I am beginning to think I have some symptoms even though I have NOT missed or had any late/irregular periods.
-I've been feeling a pulse in my stomach especially when I lay down and press on the mid part of my stomach just above the belly button.
-fluttering feelings all around my stomach [both upper and lower parts]
-horrible sinus headaches
-breast tenderness/visible blue veins
-bouts of constipation
However, I've felt dizzy and had headaches and breast tenderness/visible blue veins since I began taking ortho evra which I think are just the side effects. I've taken six urine pregnancy tests [four first response and two clearblue easy] and they were all negative [the last one was taken about 1 1/2 weeks ago]. If I were pregnant, I'd be about 14-16 weeks along at most. Wouldn't I have missed a period by now? I have NOT felt sick or naseous at all and I'm not unsually tired or hungry.

if you're getting negative pregnancy tests, still having your period don't worry, you're not pregnant. if you're still worried you can go to your ob/gyn and ask him/her to do a blood test. but i'm pretty sure that will be negative to.

Oh and I know you can't feel the baby's heartbeat, but I was just wondering if the prominent pulse is a symptom because I never noticed it before.
