Elisabeth,
Because your pregnancy tests came back negative for a month and a half with your last child, I think there's still a chance that that may be what's causing these symptoms. Home pregnancy tests test for the presence of HCG, the pregnancy hormone, in your urine, and it may be that when you tested before, there simply wasn't enough HCG there for the test to detect.
If you are not pregnant, I am wondering if you have something hormonal going on. Have you started or stopped any medications? Have you changed anything major in your life this year? And how old are you?
Tender breasts, nausea and a late period (if indeed this one is late) can be signs of pregnancy or of PMS. Sometimes when our hormones get a little out of whack, we have different PMS symptoms than normal (though not usually nausea). Are you needing to urinate more? Are you feeling bloated or extra fatigued?
