My SO and I have been TTC for two months, I was disappointed March 6th when my period came right on time, lasted as long as it usually does, and was the same kind of flow I typically have. I haven't been tracking anything except my periods since coming off of birth control in December. I switched BC's in November which caused me to have a 32 day long period, not cycle, my actual period was 32 days long.. in January, February, and March my periods went back to normal (same length, time, flow as before switching BC's).
In February we weren't trying, but we weren't using any kind of contraceptives, at the beginning of March we decided to really try, every 2-3 days. According to a few phone apps I use to track my monthlys I figured I ovulated around March 22nd.
On March 27th I started what I thought was a 10 day early period, which lasted 5 days (my periods usually last 8 days), and was NO WHERE near as heavy as it usually is.
About 4 days later I noticed I was constantly bloated, gassy, and nauseous. A few days after that the headaches started, every day around the same time,they last for a few hours and go away, sometimes they come back around bedtime and are gone by morning. For the last week I've also been noticeably tired. I usually get about about 9 or 10, and go to bed at 1 or 2 am. But Lately I've been wanting to go to bed as early as 8 pm, and wake up about 8 am. I haven't noticed that I'm using the restroom more, but sometimes when I pee I feel a slight burning?
Also, about the time I started getting bloated and gassy, my tummy started gurgling, usually after I eat something (anything, it doesn't matter what I eat) and then I get constipated, my tummy gurgles, and I then get diarrhea?
I've taken two HPTs, both negative, the first week of April, and one urine test at the Dr's office Friday, which was also negative. My dr went ahead and had me go have blood drawn today for a blood test, I should have the results back tomorrow sometime.
I've talked to my mom and my sister-in-law about all of this the last week or so, my mom thinks I've developed lactose intolerance, but my sister-in-law thinks that I'm definitely pregnant. I'm really not sure.. at times I think no, this isn't the month I'm not pregnant, I'm just psyching myself out, but at other times I think for sure that I am- possibly due to me reading so much online..!
Does anyone have any advice? Or what they think may be going on? I'm really confused, and though I know I'll have the results back tomorrow, I'm scared it wont be the result I want!

I'm trying to not stress about it, and I feel I'm doing pretty good. I just hope I'm not making my body think I am! I've gone through that before.. I went 3 months without my period (whole reason I started BC-to regulate them again), I had tons of symptoms, and really thought that I was, and when I didn't get it for the third month in a row I had a blood test done that came back negative and the following month I finally got it!
