Neg HPTs & blood test but feel pregnant

Hi, I'm new & I'm hoping someone else might have had a similar experience.

I am 36 & have never been pregnant, but the past 10 days or so I have been showing symptoms. I am nauseous (certain smells even activate my gag reflex), exhausted, moody, breasts are extremely tender & a bit swollen. I've also had a couple of hot flashes, and have an increased discharge. I also have also not started AF, but have PCOS so not unusual for me.

O is usually painful & I'm pretty sure that happened about 2 1/2 - 3 wks ago (we were not TTC, so I wasn't really paying a lot of attention). The last day I could have possibly conceived was 12 days ago. I took 3 HPTs over the past few days. All were neg, but no big surprize there - still could be a little early for those. According to my doc's nurse, a blood test should be accurate about 10 days after conception, so I waited until today to have a blood test, but it came up neg too.

Am I crazy? I still feel pregnant, but how can a blood test be wrong? Anyone had this happen and turned out to be pregnant? I have been trying not to get my hopes up too much so I wouldn't be disappointed if neg, but I'm afraid there might be something seriously wrong with me if I'm not.

I dont think the urine and HCG was wrong.I am thinking maybe a virus or Hormone imbalance .. it could be so many things I would call your doc again and discuss it !
