Okay, first of all the doctor should not just ask you if you're pregnant. He should have given you a pregnancy test. In my opinion, that was a bit negligent on his part. However, you should be aware of the possibility of ectopic pregnancy where the fetus develops outside of the uterus. This is a potentially dangerous condition that can lead to internal bleeding. While I'm not saying this is what you are experiencing, you should be aware of the possibility. Please see another doctor asap if your symptoms persist. Hope this helps.

It is a possibility. An unlikely one, but a possibility nonetheless.
If you are still worried that you may be pregnant despite negative home pregnancy tests, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Mention that you're having some pregnancy symptoms and that you have tested negative before. They may send you for a blood test (which is far more effective) or even an ultrasound to make sure you're not. In any case, the pelvic pain and nausea may indicate a problem like an ovarian cyst, so you should be getting that checked out.
