Could I be pregnant?

OK, I am new to this board but have been on several others since sometime in July. Here's my story...

My last period was in mid-June. I found out I was pregnant in mid-July. Everything went smoothly until mid-August until I had to have an ultrasound because of spotting. Discovered that the baby had no heart-beat so I had to have a D&C on 8/22. Didn't have much bleeding or spotting so we went ahead with the sex thing a week later. I had started to temp and my temperatures were all over the place. It was kind of funny predicting what it was going to do next. Well, about September 12, my temp rose and has stayed up. After 21 days of higher temps I decided to take a preg. test just for the heck of it. It turned up positive. Then I read that you shouldn't rely on a preg. test until 8 weeks after a miscarriage. However, I have had several episodes of really sore boobs, extreme queasiness, and unnatural exhaustion. I have also had a miserable cold, which my DH gave to me (I want revenge for this...and I'll probably get it!) He said that it made him lose his appetite but it didn't make him queasy...he also told me it didn't make his boobs sore...he seems to think he is a commedian. I have had some very light brown cervical mucous but it is still clear enough to see through...just a light brown-clear. Meanwhile, it will be 8 weeks from my D&C on Friday so I thought I would take another test then. I still don't want to eat anything and sometimes just thinking about certain foods make me nauseous. The thought of working two twelve hour days this week (due to parent teacher conferences) makes me really, really tired. If this is part of this cold, it is a cruel joke. However, it feels and sounds to me like I am pregnant...what do you think?
