*****I didn't find any really descriptive details about this that are like what I have so I'm asking
------
I had unprotected sex on November 26th, and I ended by period on the 24th.And just recently Ive been having lower back pain when I bend over, a higher body tempature, i've had a headache since last night, been craving like, different types of food for dinner,and my veins on my breasts are more noticeable than before but I took a walgreens test and it said i was negative,,, although Im not sure if getting a little bit of pee on it wouldve made it have an accurate anwer? or If i should wait until around the time I should get my period? Im just not sure if im pregnant, even though my friends tell me it sounds like i am. What do you think?

The symptoms for early pregnancy are the same as the symptoms for many other things. You can even trick yourself into having early pregnancy symptoms if you are hoping for or fearing pregnancy. So it's impossible for anyone to say for sure whether or not you are pregnant based on symptoms. All anyone can tell you is that it is certainly possible to get pregnant from unprotected sex and you will therefore have to take a pregnancy test to find out.
You have to read and follow the pregnancy test directions very carefully. They will tell you when you should take the test. Most tests should be taken with your very first pee of the morning after you miss your period. The directions will also tell you how to take the test. For example, some testers should be peed on directly for a certain amount of time, others ask you to pee in a cup and add a certain number of drops to the tester. If you do not follow the directions, then the test may not be accurate.
It sounds like you took your test too soon. That means you probably can't trust its answer at all and still have no idea. It's sort of as if you never took the test.
So get another test. Read the directions. Wait to see whether or not you get your period (unless the test specifically says that it is accurate before your missed period). And test again. If you get a negative result but still do not have a period after a week, test again.
Or you can visit a doctor. A doctor can do a test for you if you're not sure if you're doing it right. They can even do a blood pregnancy test, which is accurate about a week sooner than a urine pregnancy test is.
Unless you are trying to get pregnant, have the money and time to take care of a child, have been taking prenatal vitamins, and have been doing your research do not have sex again until you have some protection. You can get condoms from most drugstores, and you can get hormonal methods from your regular doctor or from a clinic like Planned Parenthood or Family Planning. If you really do not want to get pregnant, you should ideally be using condoms and a hormonal method.
