Hello, thank you for your query.

A missed period is the first and most important sign of pregnancy. There could be many reasons for a missed period, so not all missed periods mean pregnancy. But for a positive pregnancy, a missed period is the first sign. Although you havent mentioned your last date of period. May be you did miss it and are calculating last month's as this month's. If thats not the case,then no, I dont think you could be pregnant. May be because you so desperately want to be pregnant you're getting these other symptoms.This condition is called pseudo psyesis. So I'd suggest dont obsess over getting pregnant and just enjoy the process of trying to make a baby. All the best.
