need help... should i retest?

hi all,
i'm really confused. here's my story, i'm not trying, and on the pill, but i would be really happy if i turned out to be pg (after the shock wore off of course!) but i don't know if i should retest.
here's what's been going on... about a week ago, i started feeling really nauseas every evening, and constipated. also had heartburn and couldn't sleep. so i tested a couple times, all BFNs.
then AF (or what i thought was AF?) came on thurs. and stayed for 3 days. it was on time so i thought that i was ok, but then it stopped, it always lasts for about 5 days. i've since read up on lots of women who say that they had what they thought was AF when they were pg.
since it stopped, i've still been nauseated kind of all day off and on, and smells are making me gag, and my nose is completely stuffed up like i'm getting sick, and i feel like i might have a fever, but i checked and i don't...
maybe i am getting sick, but it's not any kind of sick that i've been before with all these weird symptoms all together.
has anyone else had the experience of getting AF and still being pg? should i retest? or wait? i don't want to use up all my tests if it's too soon or something. since i'm on the pill i don't really know when i would have ovulated, if i did......
or would it be safe to say that i'm not pg and just getting sick if i had AF for 3 days this last week?
any info or insights would be really helpful!
thanks....
jenny

I would re-test...I personally had first trimester bleeding with both of my pregnancies.

i re-tested this morning. and it was negative. so who knows.
how did you find out last time? did you just miss your next period or did it take that long to turn into a BFP?
i know sometimes with some women it just doesn't show up on the home tests for quite a while.
hmmmm...
