Am I pregnant???

Hi,

I should get my period in a few days (my cycle varies each time but is usually around 30 to 32 days).
But since ovulation (and even before that) I've had a ton of pregnancy symptoms.
Online pregnancy tests all say there's about a 70% chance I'm pregnant.
I'm going to buy a test this week but wanted to share my impressions with you all.
I'm really doubting it.
My pregnancy symptoms are (and this is going to be a long list).

(sometimes) nauseous
(sometimes) dizzy
Stabbing pains in the lower belly and cramps in the uterus
Bloated belly
Gurgling intestines and gas (sorry)
Headache
Very tired
Weird dreams with recognizable people and shapes but extremely weird plotlines and they feel just as real as a movie, and they also last a long time
Bad sleep
Lots of white and yellow discharge (with a kind of sweet smell?)
Dark, strong-smelling urine
Urinating more often
More desire for food and drink
More craving for healthy things than usual, but also lots of craving for sweets and chocolate
Extreme mood swings and crying or getting angry for no reason
Itchy breasts, belly, and labia
Labia are swollen and a bit red
Breasts seem slightly bigger and more tense
A kind of hard spot (looks like a tense muscle) just above the pubic bone
More pimples and faster-growing greasy hair and skin
Extreme sweating and first feeling cold, then very hot
Elevated temperature

As I said, quite a list.
And later I'll probably think, oh yeah, and this too, but this already gives a good indication why I think I'm pregnant.
On top of that, I'm thinking about kids all the time.
I'm naturally a very maternal type and I'm completely ready for it, my husband and I have been trying for a while.
We're both 27 now and really, really want a baby.
We've tested the past few months but it's been disappointment after disappointment.
We didn't test last month so maybe that's why the symptoms are suddenly so extreme and I'm already a bit further along.
I'd love to hear your impressions, whether I could be pregnant or not.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi, the symptoms seem very suspicious, but a lot of them can also signal the end of your period. But you said you didn't test last month? Were you still having your period last month? If not, I'd say, get two for 5 euros at Kruidvat or two for 1.50 at Action (I think) and... Test! That's the only way to be sure!

    Hi,

    Just a quick update.
    I took a test over the weekend, but it was too early... We only found out yesterday (not great).
    So the result was negative.
    I've now started my 'period'.
    I forgot to mention in my question that I'm on the pill. I got my period normally last month.
    But now I have my 'period', only it's not normal.
    I'm on the fourth day of my pill-free week (I usually get my period on the second or third day), and the only thing I've seen so far is a few brown smears.
    Since yesterday, absolutely nothing.
    And of course, I'm still experiencing pregnancy symptoms.
    I'm not familiar with getting pregnant while on the pill or whether you'd notice anything about your bleeding, but I've never experienced this before, and it feels strange.
    We're going to take another test this week, but I'm incredibly anxious.
