Negative Tests Symptoms Getting Worse Help

Guys, I am at my witt's end with this. I really need some guidance.
The symptoms:
I've thought I'm pregnant for almost eight weeks...constant, sweeping nausea, dizziness in the first four weeks, excessive exhaustion (the kind where you daydream about sleeping) that has not gone away, sore br___ts for the first three weeks and consistently growing eight weeks later. Bizarre food cravings, constantly hungry, gassy and heartburn to the point where I burp from the time I wake up til the time I go to bed. I'm bloated as all h__l - it actually looks like I have a "baby bump" I'm so bloated, but I know it'd be too early for that. Pain in my abdomen - normally lower right or left, or in my pelvic area.
The scenario:
I may be pregnant, I may've had a miscarriage, or I may just be off my rocker crazy. The symptoms of nausea, sore br___ts, and hunger constantly were the most intense before about three to four weeks in - I had absolutely no symptoms of PMS until, all of a sudden, I was sitting at my desk at work and I got the most awful lower pelvic cramps. I thought I was just having menstrual cramps til I felt myself begin to bleed...which, long story short, lasted along with the cramps for 2-3 days. Half as long as my normal period, and a bit lighter. I was heartbroken at the thought that I might've had a miscarriage. I still don't know if I did or not.
When I told my boyfriend, he and I both cried at the thought that we might've lost our baby. But he also told me he knows when we would've concieved - when we hadn't seen each other in two weeks and we made love and he was a little "too excited", which I guess means he didn't pull out in time.
The confusion:
I feel pregnant. All of the above symptoms, which continue to escalate, except that I no longer have sore br___ts or quite as much nausea. I'm still urinating every five seconds. I feel like something in my stomach is pulling when I try to exercise. And yet the pregnancy tests continue to be negative. I can't go to a doctor unless my belly really does begin to grow because I don't have health insurance and can't afford it. Even the clinics try to charge me more than I can afford. I know some women never get a positive home pregnancy test until 5 or 6 months into their pregnancy.
I guess I just need opinions, experience, advice...I might've lost my baby, she might still be in there, or she might've never existed to begin with. The other thing - I really feel like I have a little girl in there! I'm holding my belly all the time and daydreaming about her. I feel like I've lost my mind. I hope the little bean is in there :) advice much appreciated!

After a miscarriage the hormone levels and symptoms should subside within a week or so. Yours continue. How about going to one of those Right-to-Life places that has an ultrasound to convince you not to terminate a pregnancy?

That's a good idea, I'll look into that...the ultrasounds are free? Thanks so much for the advice, looks like there is one within an hour of me that does ultrasounds.
