I am currently 9 days late for my cycle. This is very unlikely and I'm concerned that I could be pregnant. This was my only symptom for a few days but recently I've started getting headaches, some nausea just after eating, cramping on and off (especially after exercise or intimacy) and fatigue.
I don't want to jump the gun and assume anything but I can't help but get a feeling that there's a little miracle growing inside me right now. I'm both excited and nervous! Could this all be in my head?

Have you used an HPT yet ?

Yes! I used one Clearblue about 2 or 3 days late. It came up with 'Not Pregnant.' Then 2 Dollar store tests at about 5-6 days late and they came up negative. However, I was impatient and didn't take any of these in the morning. I'm not sure if that would have a big impact on the results or not. I've read that some women won't get enough hormone build-up to show a positive result until about 10 weeks. If I am pregnant I'd be about 5 weeks.

It is VERY important to use the tests as they are designed.
Hormones are more concentrated in first morning urine.

I also have an appointment set up with an OB next week. I will then be 2 weeks late. He's going to do a pregnancy confirmations appointment since I think that I am? I'm not sure what to expect and if they do a blood test, will the hormone most likely show up on there even if I still can't get a HPT to say positive?
