Could I be?

Hi, I am concerned that I may be pregnant, but I am not sure. First I must say, I've tried to get advice elsewhere and got bashed for it. I know the thing to do to be most sure of pregnancy is to take a home test -- however I plan on waiting a week just to be sure I'm not jumping the gun.

2 - 2 1/2 weeks ago we had a 'condom accident.' I had a bad feeling about it at the time. I'm horrible about keeping track of my periods, so I don't know when my last one was exactly. I just know that it was a while ago. I came off the pill about 3 months ago. My problem is that I don't know if I'm really having heavy PMS symptoms because I'm am fixing to start my period, or I am actually pregnant. Here are my symptoms. I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me.

1. nausea - Two nights ago last week I was quite nauseous. Now I have been nauseous pretty much for the past 24 hours. I have gotten nauseous a few times during menstruation/PMS, but its never been this bad. Last night I threw up a bit -- it came up like a burp almost.

2. It seems like I've had to urinate a lot more than normal. I've been walking up dying to pee. I just used the bathroom and already feel like I have to go again.

3. Tiredness - The past few days I get spells where all of my energy is drained out of me. My muscles all feel week and spent. I've been sleeping 8-11 hours a day, but I'm still low on energy.

4. Bloated - I don't know if this from a PMS symptom or a possible pregnancy symptom

5. Cramping - Over the past 30 hours I have started to feel cramping in my lower abdomen. It isn't that painful. I don't know if this rules out pregnancy or not though. There has been no bleeding at all.

6. Feverish - I've been feeling hot spells on and off. My boyfriend says I have felt slightly warm to him.

7. Some backpain - again could be either pregnancy or PMS, right?

Thank you all for your time, I am sorry if I sound incredibly paranoid. I just want to know for certain.

Wow thats a lot of symtoms. the best way to know is to take a pg test. If you get a neg and dont get your af after a few days of testing then it's best to go see your Dr.
