Are flu like symptoms sign of pregnancy?

The last time my partner and I had sex was right after my period which was the 6th-9th of October during my fertile window. For the last almost three weeks I have had sore throat, head ache, cough, body ache, weight gain (around the bottom of my stomach). Could this be a sign of pregnancy?

In my last pregnancy, just 2-3 days before I got my bfp, I found I had flu like symptoms as well.. thought i felt feverish , there ws no fever.. I had headache, cold and simply could not get myself out of bed..
BUT, not for 3 weeks.,. that sounds like a long time.. maybe you should get it checked..
good luck!!

Honestly, it sounds like an actual cold. I've never heard of some of these being related to pregnancy. It also sounds like it started right after your last encounter, and it would take at least a week or two before the egg implanted and started to produce hormones that would cause symptoms. If they are related to pregnancy, you can test with accurate results at this point.
