Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Your symptoms (extereme exahustion,hunger,headaches,cramping etc..) can be due to pregnancy, however since you have been having them for 2 weeks, thy are unlikely to be due to pregnancy. Generally signs of pregnancy begin with implantation or after that. The symptoms could be just because you are about to have your periods.
Also if you are not due for another 4 days, there are more chances for the pregnancy test to be negative. You should wait until your due date before taking a pregnancy test. Hunger can also vary with the different phases of the cycle and mood of the person. It can also increase in acidity and diabetes. Hence both the conditions should be looked into if the pregnancy test is negative on due date or if you have your periods (which ever is earlier).
Please discuss with your gynecologist as confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net. Hope this helps. Take care!
