Dear cellisallene,
The symptoms you mention may be suggestive of pregnancy, but the are not diagnostic at all.
To diagnose pregnancy you should have a blood test for hCG usually after missing your period.
If the test comes positive, you should start taking Folic acid supplementation and visit your doctor in order to have a pelvic ultrasound to confirm a healthy intrauterine pregnancy and to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
Finall I hope you get prego soon. Good luck.
