Hi,
You can get a home pregnancy test 3-7 days after the missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine to confirm/exclude pregnancy. If you do not see any result, please repeat the test after a couple of days or see a specialist for a physical exam, blood test for pregnancy and also a trans-vaginal sonogram to clarify the situation. Your symptoms are not specific to pregnancy, they can be due to an impending period as well as they may be due to hormone effect. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
