Q: Am i pregnant or not ?

Ok, so I have taken 4 tests and all of them said negative. I almost always have my period between the 20th to the 23rd. And it is the 4th of May. My last period started on march 22nd and ended on the 26th. I had sex on the 31st. A week after that is when i started getting a little worried. Right about then my breasts started feeling very mildly tender, a little heavy and i started craving food i don't even like. That only lasted for about 2 weeks though. When that ended i started feeling very weak, usually i have a lot of energy. Then i took a test it came out negative. i didn't feel relieved though, i've been watching very closely to what changes are to my body( if any at all) Since then i have taken 3 more tests. On the 23rd of arpil i got hurt at work, went to the ER, and decided to ask them to take a urine test, that also came out negative. I am still not convinced at all. And also I've been having a lot of back pain, mainly in the lower part of my back. I have had back problems for the past 6 years or so because i work a lot! I'm a workaholic, i'm on my feet for more than 10 hours a day usually, but not for the past 2 months or so, when i went from 2 jobs down to one. I usually get headaches a lot, but lately the past few weeks, i've had more severe headaches. I haven't been that stressed at all, i was for a couple weeks after I last had sex on march 31. But not the past few weeks. And i don't know, but i have heard the smell of your urine does tend to change sometimes when you're pregnant, along with the color of it, for the past 3 weeks, every single morning, my first pee of the day is a very dark yellow., then the next 2 to 3 times i pee in the day, it still has kind of a funky smell, i have no way of describing it, but i know it's not normal. My friends keeps saying it's a bladder infection , but i've had one of those before, i know how it is. But i really don't feel like wasting anymore money on tests. And i don't have the money to go to the doctor for a blood test

Pregnant or not ?
“listen” to the signs that your body gives you even before having a pregnancy test or going to the gynecologist.
*The delay of menstruation.If the menstruation still exists we are surely not pregnant.
*Visible change of your breasts; they become even bigger than they were before the period of menstruation and they ache.
Most women confuse this ache of the breasts with the one they have before menstruation comes.
*The urination is frequent at the beginning (in the first four months of pregnancy) and this represents another important sign that you are pregnant.
*Even if you aren’t that kind of person who eats all the time this doesn’t mean that an unjustified hunger and an emphasized appetite can’t represent a pregnancy sign. Remember! Don’t rely on this fact as the continuous hunger can appear because of stress too.
*Another frequent sign of pregnancy is a constant, unjustified estate of fatigue. This fatigue appears because of the quantity of progesterone hormone present in a high level into your body.
*If you observe that weird smells such as the one of gasoline or blacking begin to attract you, this is an unfailing sign of pregnancy.Most pregnant women also admit that they can’t stand the smell of coffee or tea.
*Beside of having a darker color than usually, teats begin to be very mellow and sensitive at any touch. The sensation is similar to the one you have before the menstruation appears.
*Your body temperature has been higher than usually for more than 18 days? That’s an unfailing pregnancy sign. This temperature chance is due to the presence of the hCG hormone in your body.

If you have a lot of these symptoms and your test comes back negative, don't rule out pregnancy. False negatives are rare but possible, and can be caused by over-hydration. Wait a few days and take another test, first thing in the morning.

If your test is negative and you still think you might be pregnant, repeat the test in a week—maybe you conceived a bit later than you thought. If you are not pregnant but still missing your periods or having odd symptoms, your doctor or midwife can help you determine the cause.
