Can I still be PREGNANT???

Reading all the posts on here has made me feel slightly relieved for now!!!  My fiance and I have been trying to conceive a baby for a few months now.  I am 20 years old and originally got my first period at 9.  Ever since my second period  I have been 28 days (exactly),lasting ALWAYS 5 or 6 days and I never ever have been late.  My symptoms are always identical, cold flashes the day before I start, wake up the next day feeling very hot and have cramps.  These cramps only ever are the first day.  Since we started trying for a baby in the beginning of May 2008 my symptoms are not the same.  

My period in  May was due on the 8th.The 8th comes and goes and nothing happens, no blood and no symptoms at all.  I bought a First Response HPT test... negative.  May 8th I also went to the local clinic and had a blood test done, results came on the 12th...negative.   All hope was lost. Finally, May 11th arrives and so does my period (3 days late, very very unusual), but still no signs. (Period showed up and I knew I wasn't pregnant, null blood work arrived next day)  My period only lasted 2 days and was very light, when I am usually a heavy flow.  My fiance and I did some research and find out when my expected week of ovulation should be (21st to the 27th of May).  During this week we still tried to conceive.  On May 29th I was very nauseous and dizzy, my fiance shrugged it off and said I was just feeling these symptoms because we want a baby.  I really truly felt them.  On the 30th to the 1st, I was cramping in my abdomen, very painful and felt almost like period pains... but it was too early for that as I was due on the 6th.My fiance keeps telling me I am over emotional recently, which even I have noticed.  I am an emotional person but have learned to contain it over the years, now I do not seem to be able to. I have been very tired, going to bed at midnight and sleeping until 2 sometimes.  I have always gone to bed at midnight and was up and raring to go at 9 am.  I have not changed any exercise, or daily activities.

Now it is June 8th, once again 3 days overdue and nothing has shown up.  On the 6th I took a Clear Blue test and it clearly stated " NOT PREGNANT", well I went hysterical... cried most of the day.  I still do not have my period and no signs of it coming.  I cannot bring myself to test again, as I do not think I can deal with the upset again.  
I could even be almost 2 months pregnant and not know it!!!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP OR GIVE SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT TO DO!!!!

no i dont think so im not sure.
i no what its like to want babys though i would do anything for one, iv lost all my baby's and it is hard, so im not sure how it would feel to be normaly pregnant but as iv been in and out of hospital so much through all my pregnancys i no alot about it as the dr's tell you every time you see them. dw im sure your time will come. how long have you been trying for?
the more you relax the more likely it is to happen.
is the pain sharp and on one side or in your lower back?

Hi.  Thankyou for your help!!

I am just so unsure about what to think because we want children so bad, and infertility doesnt run in our families.    Both my fiance and I were babies from teen parents so I am just really emotional and upset about this.  Cuz I am unsure about pregnancy itself.  I have been around tons of pregnant women and some say cramping is a sign of implantation and the other signs add up, so i am just really hopeful still but scared about re-testing again.  I will for sure keep you updated!

hi.
iv been pregnant 3 times and lost all my babys in miscarrage,
my second pregnany i have very very low hormones but a clear blue digital test still managed to pick up i was pregnant.
so it dont sound like you are, i would suggest going to the early pregnany unit in your local hospital or to your gp and ask for a hormonal pregancy blood test this will give you an exact reading of your homones. if your not pregant they will advise you what to do next, they might also do a scan as at 5 weeks you can see a sac in the tummy at 2 mounths you should see a baby,
you said you had cramps, i dont wanna scare you but some times eptopic pregancys dont always show up on pregnancy tests and that would make you miss your peroid and you would have signs of being pregnant, it is very risky so i would get it cheacked out asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also a few mounths is not a long time to try for a baby, i no whats it is like to keep feeling let down every time your peroid comes but if your stressing that can delay your period and also if you convince your self your pregnant your body starts to give off signs that you are evern when your not! it took me and my partner 7 mounths to conceve our 1st and after that we started haveing sex every outher day as sperm can live up to 3 days so it incresses your chances, and it took 3 mounths to conceve our outher 2 babys. dont foget to take pregancy vits while you are ttc.
keep me posted
hope this helped, best of luck.
