Early symptoms?

Question

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I posted in amipregnant and just got a bunch of shit about using birth control so maybe someone here can help me better. This might be a bit of a long post so sorry about that. My last period started on or around Feb 9th and me and my bf had sex between Feb 20-22 I can't remember exactly, I know I was ovulating around the time though because my libido was high and I had ovulation cm. Not 100% sure when I actually ovulated, just that I was fertile around the time we had sex. It's entirely possible I ovulated before we did the deed though because symptoms had started to alleviate by the time we did. It was our first time in a while having sex and we always use the pull out method (3 years, no incident) but this time in the moment he pulled out a bit late. I considered taking plan B but it really throws my body out of wack for months and he wasn't sure if he hadn't pulled out in time and we're broke so I decided to skip it this time around. In hindsight I shouldn't have skipped it. My period isn't due yet but the past week or so I've just felt a bit off, I've had some heartburn, breast tenderness, increased appetite, and the weirdest one I've noticed is that the last 2 days or so I've had an unusually high sex drive compared to what's typical at this point in my cycle. I've also felt no signs of my period coming on, usually I'd start to feel a bit lower energy at this point in my cycle if nothing else. All the symptoms I've had aren't typical pms symptoms for me either. My main question is, has anyone else had similar symptoms this early? I took a test yesterday not with fmu and it came back negative. We're not ttc but bc gives me bad reactions, condoms cause me irritation, and I have severe medical anxiety that makes a copper IUD not an option because a foreign object in my cervix sounds like torture. I've looked into other non hormonal birth control methods and none of them would work for us not are they as effective as combining tracking my cycle/symptoms and pulling out so please spare me the comments about birth control. Just trying to see if anyone has had similar experiences before finding out they were pregnant.
