If your period is not late there is no need to consider pregnancy. Missing the period is the first serious sign of early pregnancy. Plus, a missed period is not always a secure sign of pregnancy but it is enough reason to suspect pregnancy and to do a pregnancy test. All the other symptoms (bad mood, sleepiness, weird cravings, painful nipples, headache, nausea, bloating, thicker discharge…) could mean anything. You can wait for your period. If it is late, you can take a pregnancy test.
