I don't know if I'm pregnant. My last period was March 28th 2016. On my period tracker Calendar, I was fertile the April 7th-April 11th, I ovulated the 12th. I had sex the 9th of April, the condom broke. At the time we weren't worried and didn't care. I started getting cramps & weird stomach pains 10 days before my excepted period April 26th 2016. For the most part my period is regular & I get cramps an hour or less before my period starts. So I don't have pms & have been keeping track of my period since November 2014, I never get sick before my period, or get symptoms. Then I started getting tired all the time, which is not normal for me. My boobs were sore one day, then another day they weren't. I started getting headaches & hot flashes. I'm sleeping more then normal. I have taken a total of 7 pregnancy test that all have been negative. But the first 5 I took before my expected period. On the April 23rd I started having menstrual cramps & I had them also April 24th. On that same day I started bleeding this brown, thick, light stuff, & it wasn't period blood. I showed my sister who is pregnant & she said she was bleeding the same stuff. The bleeding lasted 3 days, then I was spotting the brown stuff till Friday April 29th. My has always lasted 5days & the 6th day im basically done. Then I took 2 after my expected period they were negative. I know for a fact it wasn't my period & so I'm late. My body has been acting differently & I know something is up. It's not normal for me to be sick like this. At moments I'm so hungry then at moments I don't want to eat. My boobs have been hurting more then lately. I'm having frequent headaches along with hot flashes. There is more salvia in my mouth then usual. I feel like I need to pee all the time & when I pee, I pee very little but I feel like I still need to pee even more. I get stomach cramps & pain. I sleep all the time now & I'm tired all the time over nothing. I feel bloated & my body feels uncomfortable. I have been reading a lot, doing a lot of research. I still have 4 pregnancy test left but I'm not sure what to expect. I have been reading stories on how some women knew they were pregnant, took several home pregnancy test they came out negative, to the point where they even went to the doctors had negative blood test. Going back 2 weeks later to find out they are. Part of me feels like I am pregnant. The other part doubts because of all the negatives. Honestly my sister & feel the same stuff, have the same symptoms. Overall I'm 5 days late, no positive test yet & don't know if I'm pregnant.

This all said, since you clearly have concerns about how you have been feeling, and concerns about what sounds like just some period changes this cycle (you say you know this wasn't your period, but I'm not sure how you'd know that: sometimes periods are just way different than we're used to, and periods and cycles don't stay the same for a lifetime), your best best is likely just to check in with a healthcare provider.
