If your cycle lasts around 28 days, then it is too early (at 23 days after your last period) to confirm a pregnancy or to conclude that you aren't pregnancy. All those symptoms you’ve mentioned are strongly subjective and could indicate anything. Missing a period is the first serious sign of early pregnancy, although it is not always sure. You can take a home pregnancy test if your period is more than 5 days late.
