What Is The Cause Of Pressure Sensation In Abdomen And Heartburn?

My boyfriend and I are in our late 20's (28) and have been together for 3 years. I usually have a 28 day cycle which never goes beyond 32 days. I'm currently on day 34, still no period, and had 2 negative pregnancy tests. Other than pressure in my lower abdomen and heartburn, I have no other pregnancy symptoms. I keep track of ovulation by monitoring my physical signs which occurred around the 14th of January. We practice the withdrawal method (and I know he does not slip-up) and sessions are not consecutive so there is no sperm left in the urethra to be picked up by pre-ejaculate. On day 27, I allowed him to ejaculate inside me because ovulation occurred about 2 weeks prior and thought the chance of conception was extremely low. I had the flu for 2 weeks that started the same day as my period and also started taking supplements (Oxyelite Pro, Magnesium, and Calcium) and cough/cold/flu medicine that contained acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, phenylephrine HCl, and doxylamine succinate. Due to being sick and then going away for a week, we barely had intercourse in January (only about 4 or 5 times total). Is it more likely I'm pregnant or more likely the combination of supplements and illness is just throwing my cycle off?

HI.
Your are NOT likely to be pregnant.
All the symptoms can be related to the flu you have. The pressure sensation in the abdomen can be due to stomach flu and indigestion associated with stomach flu.
Heartburn may be due Acid Peptic disease. Take PPI and Antacids also.
Take / Continue symptomatic treatment and bed-rest, you will be fine.
On a safer side re-check the pregnancy test after 7 days.
