Hi there,
After going through your question, my opinion is that:
1) There is always a chance of pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse.
2) You have a good chance of being pregnant as you had sex during ovulation period.
3) Emergency contraceptives are effective only if used within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
4) Now, the only thing you can do is wait for getting periods or get a blood test called serum beta hcg which can detect pregnancy a week after unprotected sex.
5) Sometimes, the symptoms you are describing could also be due to anxiety.

I hope this helped.
regards,
Dr. Shikha
