Brief Answer:
Normal to a certain extent.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It is normal to have vague symptoms like body pain etc before your periods.
Exaggeration of your hives is also normal.
Just body pain is not generally a sign of pregnancy, and you would not have it regularly for the past 5 years, if you were pregnant !
You can try taking oral contraceptive pills for a few months, as that might help to alleviate your symptoms.
All the best.
