Hallow Dear,
Yes, whatever symptoms you are describing are after missing a period for about a week, there is a possibility of pregnancy. The breast symptoms like engorgement, tenderness, dark discolouration of the nipples & areola with increasing areolar size and colostrum secretions will appear subsequently up to 2 after weeks of missed period.
Urine pregnancy tests give reliable results after 8-10 days from missed period. Earlier they may give false negative results. I would advise you to repeat pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample after 4 days again. Alternatively you may opt for Beta hCG test which is very sensitive and gives you reliable results even few days before missing a period.
If these tests also report that you are not pregnant, then you are not pregnant. In that case, you may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days. Around 4-7 days after that you will get withdrawal bleeding.
I hope this helps you.
