Symptoms?

We had been trying to get pregnant for the past 3 months and I have a suspicion that I may have conceived in the month of August. As of today, I am on my 30th cycle day...and my period usually starts on day 26, 27, or 28. Missed period? Not sure. I've got a few more days to wait because sometimes my cycle goes as late as 35 days.

I have been having chills (aka flu like symptoms) and also fatigue, headache, mood swings (poor David and Breanna), nausea, breast tenderness, and frequent urination. I've also been spotting this week for two days only. Could this be possible implantation bleeding. Anyways, many of these symptoms mimic pre-menstrual symptoms but there is no way to tell I'm pregnant just yet since my period has been as late as 35 days. On August 4th (5 days before my period could start)I took one of those pregnancy tests that can read symptoms 5 days earlier than the average test...but it read negative. Did I take it too early to read the HcG hormone?

I read up more about implantation bleeding. The process to implant takes 6-12 days after conception and may be accompanied by light spotting and cramps. I didn't experience implantation bleeding when making Breanna. Anyways, this is a timeline of my cycle (or possible pregnancy). We tried during the middle of my conception week, July 20th and 23rd. Could I be pregnant? I'm feeling both hopeful, yet aggravated. I want to know by now.
