Brief Answer:
Get your blood beta hcg testing.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As you had no menses and your home urine pregnancy test is negative, in my opinion you should get your blood beta hcg testing to rule out pregnancy.
These symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
