According to the symptoms you describe (urinating often, sleeping more than usual, being tired, don’t want to do anything, getting shaky…) it is impossible to identify the exact condition. You can easily exclude or confirm pregnancy by performing a simple home pregnancy test. If you don’t want to do that, you might ask for advice from the people who had been telling you that you look pregnant.
