Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms you describe could be due to pregnancy, but also could be due to premenstrual symptoms.
It is not advisable to rely on such symptoms to diagnose a pregnancy.
If you have regular periods, please wait till you are atleast 3 - 5 days overdue, and then take a pregnancy test to confirm.
All the best to you.
