  It's against TOU to ask is if we think you're pregnant.

  I have a cold myself right now. Get lots of fluids and rest. Colds are caused by germs, not pregnancy.
  Also, what everyone else said.

  Really? Seriously?
  
  Guess what? I have had sex nearly EOD for 10 months now and I'm STILL not pregnant. So guess what, there's a good chance your one night of fun didn't knock you up either.
  
  Your post comes off ignorant and I have no time for that crap.

  Doubtful that your flu symptoms are pregnancy related. If you are pregnant enough to have morning sickness symptoms, then you are pregnant enough to test positive. If 12/25 was your one night of sex, then it's not likely related.
  
  And for the future, please don't ask if you are pregnant. It's against the TOU of this board.

  Go pee on a stick if you think you're pregnant. No one here is going to be able to tell you if you are pregnant.

  You're probably actually sick.  If you think you're pregnant, take a test.  If it's too early to test, it's too early to have pregnancy symptoms.

  Yes, you're definitely pregnant. Flu like symptoms literally only mean one thing ever, pregnancy. It's probably twins.

  Nope.  I actually felt 100% normal before I got my BFP.  If it walks likes the flu and talks like the flu, it's probably the flu, yo.

  Flu-like symptoms can be caused by any viral infection - influenza, rhinovirus (common cold), HIV, EBV (mono), dengue virus, Ebola, hepatitis A, B and C. Flu-like symptoms are caused by the release of interferon after your immune system has detected a virus. This interferon release causes fever, chills, nausea, malaise and inflammation. Pregnancy does not induce the same response.

  For many people, their first symptom is a positive HPT so it's highly recommended you start there.
