Is this a pregnancy or the flu?

Question

My girl has been on the depo shot (progesterone shot) for 6 months. She took them on time and is still bound to expire this coming January.

The thing is, last week (December 20) she had a 1 day mild spotting that we suspect should be due to the shot wearing off. The next day (December 21) she had nausea at the evening, but didn't throw up.

However, at December 28 (around 2am) she couldn't sleep and threw up several times, she claims she feels hot and thinks she has a fever, she has mild LBM, dizziness, and feeling chills. I am suspecting that she has the stomach flu. But she just threw up on that day and everyday since then she'd just feel nauseous and dizzy often at night time and she'd sleep A LOT. I'm wondering how likely that it is pregnancy symptoms? Or if she's just still weak from being sick?

Asked and answered. She has a stomach bug.

Honestly, are you going to freak out about pregnancy every time she has symptoms identical to the ones YOU could just as well get when you're sick? Because if so, I would suggest you're not ready to have sex at all.

It's not pregnancy. If you were throwing up, would you be pregnant? No. Probably the flu.

If you're concerned, use condoms until her next shot, but they work longer than they tell you, so it's not wearing off.

She should see a doctor.

If she is still throwing up four days after you first posted this, she might want to go and get an anti-nausea from the doctor until this virus passes.

Why a rambling question here, which will attract a variety of opinion, when a simple test kit is available from any pharmacy?  Get one and find out!  But purely unscientifically, this sounds like a gastric kind of flu.
