Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It is too early to take a pregnancy test anyway.
You cannot be pregnant from sex on the second day of your period.
Are you on birth control, or other hormonal medications ?
Are you stressed out, anxious, been over exercising, or have gained weight recently
?
It could also be flu or a mild viral illness.
take care.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Detailed Answer:
These might be premenstrual symptoms then.
You would soon be having your period.
In case you miss it, that would be the right time to take a test.
