Dear Madam,
The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. All other symptoms you have mentioned start appearing one or two weeks after the missed period. So whatever symptoms you are experiencing cannot be due to pregnancy.
Please wait to see whether you miss your period. If you miss a period, one week later get your urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography done for detecting the pregnancy. These tests done earlier may not be reliably conclusive. Beta hCG test gives reliable results even a couple of days after missed period. You may opt for that.
Wish you best luck for your pregnancy.
