Women can have changes in their period, and this does not indicate a pregnancy. You have not missed your October period yet, and if you are worried about pregnancy, wait until your period begins or take a home pregnancy test if it does not begin when expected.
Most women do not have any pregnancy symptoms until AFTER they have missed their period. Pregnancy symptoms and pre-menstrual symptoms are almost identical, and the symptoms you describe could be caused by an upcoming period...not necessarily pregnancy.
A 3 day period is fine; and I'm not sure why you would think this would indicate a pregnancy? It is the absence of a menstrual period that would indicate a pregnancy. A shorter period is just a different period than your usual; when you may be concerned is if you have bleeding that lasts more than 7 days. Women's bodies are not like clockwork, and our bodies react and interact to our environments, and can "cause" shorter periods, longer cycles, different symptoms. If you ever experience excessive bleeding or pain, these are reasons to call your doctor. A 3-day period is normal and healthy.
