Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
The antibiotics used to treat Chlamydia (you did not list what you are on) CAN cause stomach upset and GI symptoms like you describe. But, given that this is also a disease you get from unprotected intercourse, then certainly there is a risk of pregnancy. You must check a pregnancy test and if it is positive, you need to contact your doctor immediately for an appointment as the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is increased.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
