Any symptoms related to a pregnancy would be triggered by the hormones that turn a pregnancy test positive. The cited menses and negative test are good evidence that your symptoms are from something else. You can always re-test on a first morning urine that tends to be more accurate.

You had a negative pregnancy test on Jan 24 and had a period on Jan 25; this set of circumstances rules out pregnancy. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex : https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Get HPV vaccine.
