Hi,
The symptoms you describe can be anything really! They may be hormone-related, either due to an upcoming period or very early pregnancy signs. The first sign most women experience to know if they are pregnant is a missed period; most other pregnancy symptoms do not begin earlier than 2-3 weeks after conception (assuming you ovulated 2-3 weeks prior to your period), or the women is unable to detect them at this early stage. In fact, women are not even technically pregnant with a viable pregnancy until 10-14 days after ovulation (it takes this long for the egg to travel, join with the sperm, travel further, implant, etc)....and this 14-day window is about the time it takes for an expected period to begin (or not).
Since your period is not expected for another few days (it is now "only" 27 days), you can take a home pregnancy test once you've missed your period. I know the waiting is difficult (we tried for months to conceive...I know it's agonizing to not know!!), but you only have another week to wait until a test would be accurate.
