Hi, Mrserkardtobe, and welcome to EmpowHer! Thanks so much for your question.

If you're having a period, then that's a sign that you are not pregnant. Most of what you list as symptoms can also be associated with PMS; are they rare symptoms for you?

Is anything else going on in your life that's different? Changes in diet or lifestyle, stress or medication?

And are you having all these symptoms all at once, or they have happened over a few days? Have they gotten any better or worse than they were when they started?
