Hi,
It can not be pregnancy in 30 days regular periods, provided you did not have sex while in flu. You may get your period irregular due to infection stress. But in case of irregular periods, there is possible pregnancy in case of sex before flue too. In such a case wait for pregnancy test till its 8 days delay in expected date of period and if it's positive, please get MTP done as viral infections are dangerous for early pregnancy fetus for malformations.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
