Q: Negative pregnancy tests ?

I've been avidly journaling everything since last month, so I have a lot of details I can give. Sorry if this is too much, but I'm pretty confused.
My cycle is always almost exactly 30 days long. It started on 3 October, and ended on 8 October. DH and I had unprotected sex on 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 October (not after that- he is in the Marine Corps and left for predeployment). On the 19th I experienced slight nausea following meals. On the 20th, 21st, 22nd, and most days afterwards, I continued to experience this. On the 22nd, I also had some slight cramping in my uterine/ovarian area. On the 25th, i had localized pain and cramping in this same area, consistently for around 2 hours.
Every day since O-Day, I've had a temperature of around 99.4F, which is slightly elevated for me (I'm usually around a 98.3F). Today (4 November) I had some vomiting following dinner.

I'm 3 days past expected AF. I took a pregnancy test on the 30th, and again this morning. Both times it came back negative (I wasn't misreading it- it was a digital test). However, I have had NO sign my period is coming anytime soon. I typically have horrible breakouts cycle days 27-2, but my skin currently is the clearest it's ever been, even when I'm NOT having breakouts... (I've even had people comment on how clear my skin looks). I don't even have a trace of oil on it!
Additionally, typically I'm very bloated at this point, and I've had no bloating at all.

Is there a chance that my tests are coming back as false negatives? I know by now on an HPT I should be testing positive if I'm pregnant, but I have no explanation for the other stuff, such as lack of period symptoms, my nausea, or anything.
I'm not abnormally stressed at all, either- sometimes that's led my period to be late before, but actually, in the past two weeks, I've felt very stress-free.

I'd just like to get someone else's take on things.


ETA: I also have had clear-to-white, non-odorous discharge for the past week. Additionally, yesterday, both my husband and best friend commented my breasts looked larger- they seem to be having trouble fitting into my standard bras currently. I've also had significant lower back pain from midlow back to my pelvic area.

Wait another week and then test again.

In most cases, if you don't have enough HCG in your system to trigger a pregnancy test, then the symptoms are not pregnancy symptoms.
