But you are not pregnant until the pregnancy test is positive.  Many women with "typical pregnancy symptoms" turn out to not be pregnant, and many women without these symptoms turn out to be pregnant.  For each pregnant woman with symptoms there are many more who turn out to not be pregnant.
The problem is that both women who are pregnant and those who are not pregnant often have the exact same physical symptoms. The only difference between them is one thing: The Pregnancy Test:  Pregnant women will have a Positive Pregnancy Test.
Typical pregnancy symptoms come in many shades and variations, so all of the questions about "Am I pregnant with these symptoms?" is just a pure guessing game and pure speculation.
