Thank you so much for visiting the EmpowHER community, especially since you are trying to get pregnant! Your experience is very similar to many of our members who are also trying to conceive!
Well, you certainly have the symptoms of early pregnancy!! When I conceived my second child, I knew very early on because I was flat out exhausted and couldn't even function past noon without a nap!!
The red dots of blood could be a sign of implantation bleeding. Are you familiar with that? I will attach a link about implantation bleeding for you to look at.
A home pregnancy test might be too early to tell at this point. I also had a false negative because I tested too early with my daughter. I remember being sooo bummed :-( Try taking another one about 3 days before your period is due and do it first thing in the morning. Some tests are better than others, so don't be too disappointed if one comes back negative. Try again the day your period is due.
If you are indeed pregnant, schedule a visit with your OB right away and get a top quality prenatal vitamin. It will help with the tiredness and keep the baby super healthy!
