I had unprotected sex on June 22nd. Three days later started with strange sotamch and back cramps, hot flushes, slight nausea. I know this is probably ovulation but could I also be pregnant? Periods have been irregular previously so not sure when I'm to have my next period. Is it too son to do a home test? Thanks.
