Pregnancy symptoms and period?

About 1 1/2 to 2 weeks before the day I was supposed to get my period I started having what I thought were symptoms of pregnancy. I was nauseated, major headache, swollen gums, metal mouth and fatigue. I took a pregnancy test about 6 days before my period, negative. Took another one 4 days before, negative again. Took a last one today (the day I was gonna get my period) and still negative. A few hours later, my period came down, not as heavy as usual, but with cramping much much worse than ever!! Can I still be pregnant?

Doesn't sound like it.

You had the symptoms about 1 & a half to 2 weeks before your period was due - so too early for it to be pregnancy symptoms. BUT, annoyingly, ovulation can also cause those symptoms (as well as 'PMS' and pregnancy).

It sounds like the symptoms were ovulation symptoms.
