Q: Bad cramping pregnancy sign

Im just wondering if i could be pregnant..
I know its unlikely because i have my period but i feel really different this time, and dont know if im just making myself believe i am because id really like a baby.
I started my period 3 days ago and it has been the same blood flow as normal but the night i got it, i couldnt sleep at all because i had such bad cramping, nothing like before. I also seem to have developed a little bit of a belly and i am quite a thin person( only weighing 58kg currently ).
I have also been having problems for a little over a week now with reflux/heartburn type pains and a tight, restrictive type pain in my upper ribs.
I did a home pregnancy test and it came back negative but i still dont feel the same.
Am i imagining things... Or could i be pregnant.........

Sounds like really bad PMS, if your on your period, your not pregnant.

If you are having your period, especially with such bad cramps and a normal/heavier flow, you are most likely not pregnant. It just sounds like a bad period. The belly is probably just due to bloating which is common right before/during your period, or weight gain that is unrelated.
