Uncertain: It could be premenstrual symptoms. Could have breakthrough bleeding (using term in a more generalized sense - since i don't know if you use oral contraceptives or not). If your period doesn't arrive when anticipated take a home pregnancy test. Take care.

Could be either: Symptoms of pregnancy are often similar to premenstrual symptoms. The only way to be sure is to get a pregnancy test. Remember though that the pregnancy test might not be reliable till 2 weeks from conception. This usually around the time of a missed period.

Either: Could be either. Don't do anythings that may affect a pregnancy, like heavy drinking or drugs. Get a pregnancy test and find out.
