Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

The symptoms you have mentioned are not related to pregnancy alone.

These symptoms of back, stomach pain and soreness of breasts can also occur as premenstrual symptoms indicating that your periods are about to come.

Moreover your home pregnancy test result shows negative meaning you are unlikely to be pregnant.

I suggest you wait for 5 days for your periods to arrive. If no periods till then , repeat home pregnancy test to reconfirmed pregnancy status.
