Had Unprotected Sex, Having Vomitting, Leg Pain, Sore Throat, Headache. Pregnant?

i need to know whether i may be pregnant or just have a stomach bug. see, my husband and i had unprotected sex only 4 days ago. i wasn t at all great, in fact it only lasted 2 minutes. anway, like a day or so later, i felt more happy and alive than i ve ever felt in my life. i just felt so calm and at peace. weird. then yesterday, i had a slight problem of keeping everything in. i can keep it all down just not in. i also felt realy tired during the middle of my shift at work. oh and on the secon day i had nasty leg pain. and now today, i have a big problem keeping everything in and i woke up with a mild sore throat and a headache . i called in from work because i don t want to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes. i know pregnancy doesn t typically happen overnight and that they typically don t show flu-like symptoms but i ve read that they can and i know that not everyone is the same and no two pregnancies are alike. and i d rather have this diarrhea than be throwing up every 5 minutes. still, what do you think? bug or pregnancy? also need to know when i should test because i have irregular periods and my last one was right at the end of september, if that helps.

Hello,
Early pregnancy can show symptoms like tiredness, sleepiness, headaches, nausea and excessive urination and a raised temperature. You are perhaps having an infection. If your periods are irregular and not in the 28-35 day zone, then it is difficult to predict your ovulation time. You can nevertheless test with a HPT and with the result, you may consult a gynecologist for further management. Good luck.
