How can you not know youre pregnant?

My boss just found out she's pregnant. She's 4 months. And I know thats weird, wondering about my boss, but a couple months back (like 2 months ago) I thought I was pregnant. Like I was close to 100% certain that the test would come out positive. But I took it too early out of anxiety. I never retook it. But since then I've been having mood swings and irregular "periods" that are small and unlike mine at all. I've gained weight, but not too much. I'm fatigued for no reason and I'm finding myself nauseated and sensitive a lot more. I'm hesitant to test again because I don't want to waste the money on a hunch. I just don't even know if this is possible.

Mainly my question is if anyone in this community has ever not known they were pregnant for a more than two months?
