Hallow Dear,
The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period; all other cardinal symptoms of pregnancy like nausea and vomiting, frequent urination and breast symptoms start about a week after missing a period. So, your breast symptoms cannot be attributed to pregnancy so early. Cramps or any sort of pain in abdomen is not a symptom of pregnancy.
The urine pregnancy test is reliably positive about a week after the missed period; however, Beta hCG pregnancy test on urine may show reliable results even few days before missing a period. Since it is done too early, it may show faint positive line. At this stage, Beta hCG test on blood will be more informative - values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mIU/ml.
I hope this should resolve your dilemma.
