What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

So the first day of my last period was August 1 and on August 9th my boyfriend was home on a slight break from work and we had unprotected sex. About a week and a half later i was noticing that my breasts were tender and looked kinda swollen, i was breaking out on my face (that's usual for me before an expected period though), i was nauseous here and there, i was irritable and sometimes i felt like i was going to cry over the strangest things, i was urinating a lot and i was bloated a little. I was apparently supposed to ovulate on August 15th and get my period on August 29th. I had experienced some brownish discharge about a week after the sex but i didn't think much of it until i was a day late then after that i was mainly just spotting. I did have some light period like bleeding for like two hours one night then i was back to spotting and all that lasted four days. I typically have heavy 5 to 6 day periods and this was a light four day "period". I have been having headaches almost everyday now, nausea but no vomiting, bloating, mood swings, increased appetite but when i go to eat i don't really find anything appetizing. My breasts still look swollen but they aren't as tender as before. My nipples look darker and i have these bumps around my nipples but inside my areolas. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative but i'm still not convinced because i have NEVER experienced anything like this.

Hi, thanks for writing..
It sounds like you are having symptoms of pregnancy.. Spotting in and around the expected periods can be implantation bleed.. So get a pregnancy test with early morning urine sample. For furthur confirmation get a hcg blood test.. Value greater than 25 suggest positive pregnancy test.. If negative, nothing to worry, this could be due to stress.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
