As I said earlier...it could be an early period, it could be gas cramps, it could be pregnancy-related. No one can tell you until you have either missed a period, your period has started, or a home pregnancy test confirms; at this point, it is all speculation. I know it's agonizing to wait, but try to be patient, positive and hopeful...but also try to be active in other areas of your life, so you are not dwelling on every possible symptom. It really will create much stress and worry.
Regarding your previous question: a home pregnancy test will only be accurate once you have missed your period (I know they claim to be able to detect pregnancy hormones 5 days before your period...they may/may not; the accuracy rate is much lower. Once you open the box, the disclaimers say that they aren't 99% accurate until you have missed your period).
