pregnant or something else? little scare

sorry this is long...I am 31 years old and I have 2 beautiful healthy kids ages 7 and 8. I had a tubal after the birth of my son, as I was done having kids. my kids were only 10 and 1/2 months apart and I was scared of having another so close. I have been clock work with my period since the tubal. every 21-25 days. This month however my period is 12 days late as of today. I took 2 home pregnancy test both are negative. With my daughter I knew the day I concieved her and took a test first day of my period was late and it was a positive. With my son I had no signs of pregnancy, in fact I didnt even know I was pregnant until I went for my after birth check up and the doc said hmmm lets run some blood work I think your pregnant again. I was about 3 months pregnant with him before I had morning sickness or anything with him. Now this month with being late I have noticed the queasy feeling off and on not a everyday thing. My nipples are screaming burning everyonce in a while but not everyday. I do have stomache cramping everyday (the kind some get just before your period comes, but it hasnt) I have had that for about 3 weeks now. I also noticed my breast have blue veins showing that werent there before and the other day I got out of the shower and happened to look and you can see milk ducts very clear on the nipples that weren't there before. I dont know why but I squeezed the one nipple and a little clear fluid came out about the size of a pin head, but that was the only time hasnt happened since. I called the docs office but they said I had a tubal and the fact that I had 2 negative results its HIGHLY UNLIKELY I am pregnant. They said to wait another week take another test If my period doesnt start and then whether its negative or not to call and they will schedule blood work then. I am not saying I am pregnant cause sometimes I feel it but sometimes I dont. And I think its more a mind over matter thing at times cause I am never late. I am most worried since I did have a tubal that it could be a chance of ectopic. I have read that sometimes it takes a while to show on a preg test but you still have some symptoms. My docs office said that unless I feel pain they cant do anything right now because I tested negative on a home test. I dont have insurance and I think thats why they are hestite to do anything for another week. I told the office I was reading alot of different things on the internet about having tubals done early in life ( had mine at 24 y/o and it was only a band no cutting or burning involve on the tubes) and that there was a greater chance of becoming pregnant after a few years time. They said thats true but its such a small chance that dont believe that has happened with me. Has anyone else been in this situation? If its not pregnancy what could it be? I have felt fine!
