I understand your eagerness to know if you are pregnant or not, since you have been trying to conceive. A positive pregnancy test rather than symptoms gives you a certain answer, especially this early.
During pregnancy, your body, the placenta actually, secretes a hormone called hCG. Levels of hCG can be detected by a blood test as early as 11 days after conception and about 12 to 14 days after conception by a urine test.
Since your period is due next week, I suggest you wait. If your period is late beyond one week, take a pregnancy test. Read and follow the directions carefully to get the most accurate results.
