In need of female opinion

I know you ladies see a lot of posts like this one, but I don't know who else to ask, since asking mom or mom-in-law or sis-in-law would cause a family uproar. I'm also sorry I didn't use the abbreviations, but I'm a little lost on those still.
My period is usually somewhat irregular, so I try to not take it too seriously if it varies a few days. This month it is three days late, but I developed brown spotting about the time my period should have come. I had unprotected sex around the time I should have ovulated. Now, I'm tired, always hungry, my breasts are sensitive (not really sore), I'm running to the restroom every thirty minutes, and I've got slight muscle soreness in my abdomen (like I just finished a workout). I have lower back pain, but that's not unusual. I'm running a low-grade fever (about two degrees above my normal). I'm always thirsty, I have a headache, and I have minor sinus bleeding.
I've taken two pregnancy tests that read negative, though they were quite early.
So what does anyone think? Is it pre-menstrual stuff combined with oncoming cold/flu/etc, or is it possibly pregnancy?
Sorry if I've been too wordy. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hey. . .

I totally understand the family uproar. That being said, it sounds highly possible. I developed syptoms the day after conceiving, including running to the bathroom, sore boobs, and nose bleeds. apparently nose bleeds are contributed to the spike in blood pressure. . .

You might wnat to get a test. . . or go to planned parenthood or something like that. . .

good luck.
