Could Flu Like Symptoms Post Having Unprotected Sex Indicate Pregnancy?
Hello, I have been having unprotected sex for the past week and yesterday I ovulated. This morning I woke up feeling very sick, I have flu like symptoms which I never get when I ovulate and I rarely get sick. Is there a possible chance I have successfully conceived?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
It is unlikely that flu like symptoms indicate pregnancy.
Since you are ovulating keep being sexually active since you are desirable of being pregnant.
Kindly wait for your expected date of next periods. If you miss it for 7 days more than the expected date , then take up the urine pregnancy test for confirmation.
Hope this answered your query.
Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
