Brief Answer:
Get urgent tests,Need to rule out Pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your concern.

Its extremely important pregnancy is ruled out in your case,since you had sexual activity in the fertile period of your cycle.

Hence before opting for home/medical therapies,I advise you to get a Urine Pregnancy test for B-hcg ,and if found positive a trans vaginal ultrasound to assess the type of pregnancy-Ectopic Vs Uterine.

Further management is based on the test results.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
