Answer
Jacqueline,
It is possible that it may have just been too early to test. You might ovulate later in your cycle. It is really important to use the first mornings urine since this is the most concentrated. I would wait two more days and then repeat the test. If you still have a negative and no period yet, go ahead and make an appointment with your doctor. He or she can do a blood test to determine if you are pregnant or not. These symptoms sound like early pregnancy signs, but they can also be premenstrual symptoms. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck to you!
