Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion all your symptoms correlate with pregnancy symptoms.

But as the pregnancy test is negative there might be no chance of pregnancy.Usually the urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period in case of regular cycles.As you are 6 weeks now it should have been positive by now.

Repeat the test after a week and if negative wait for spontaneous onset of periods for a week and I suggest you to consult doctor for further management.Avoid stress regarding the pregnancy or anything as it might cause hormonal imbalance and further delay the periods.

So relax.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
