in my mind ? or pregnancy symptoms ? or period ?!

I had protected sex on August 1st. I took a free urine test at a clinic on monday (a week after sex) & it came back negative. I think it was too early but my period is supposed to come today or in about two days (my last period was on July 13). I bought a home EPT test yesterday & took one this morning, still came out negative.  Was this still early? I'm confused, because my period seems to be late, but it might be too early to be testing. :/ Also, I have a REALLY bad cold/flu (severe sore throat, coughing, stuffy nose, body aches, high fever my face is even red, dizziness at first but it's almost gone now ). I took DayQuil & now I feel better but those couldn't have been signs of a pregnancy, right? Also, last week, around 2 days after sex, my lower stomach started cramping & my lower back also hurt a lot. It's usually like this a week before my period. Could this have been implantation cramps or too early for pregnancy signs ?

For the past few days, my right ovary hurted a lot too & still does. Is this a sign of my period coming? Also, I feel clear watery discharge gushing out of me ( sorry TMI ) so i keep checking to see if it's my period but no :( Is this also a sign of my period coming soon or a sign of pregnancy ?   Today I went to the doctors because I felt itchy down there they told me I just have an infection/virus so they gave me antiobiotics & cream . I'm also hoping to take a blood test tomorrow .  

Sorry this was a lot. I REALLY need some assurance & help at the moment. So basically my questions are:
1. Were the symptoms I got last week just PMS symptoms or could they have been implantation cramps?
2. Did I take an EPT test too early?  
3. Are my severe flu-like symptoms an early sign of pregnancy?
4. Would it be too early to take a blood test tomorrow ( it would be 11 days after sex  ) .
5. I keep having watery vaginal discharge gushing out . Is this a sign of a period coming? I heard that people who are pregnant have this as one of the symptoms ?!  

Please help me. I just need some thoughts I'm worried sick :(

I think your symptoms are from the infection especially the discharge and your period being late.  If you take all the meds and the infection clears up, give your period about a week to show, if you are still feeling pregnant and no period then take another test.  I would say that you tested wayyyy too early to get a + even if you were pregnant.

Maybe the symptoms you were feeling are from the infection/virus, and your flu-like symptoms are just you being sick. Women ovulate about 14 days BEFORE their period starts, so if you had sex one week before I doubt you are pregnant.
