Dear Madam,
The most important cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. All other symptoms appear only after a period is missed. Headache or altered sleep rhythm are not a symptoms of pregnancy. You may be having minor viral infection.
Your unprotected sex was on the 5th day of menstrual cycle. It is too early to conceive. The egg is released (ovulation) 14 days prior to the next menstrual period. The egg is having life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence a period of about a week around this day is Fertile window. Your intercourse was way away from this period.
If you are keen on conceiving, please try to adjust unprotected sexual relations on or around the day of ovulation. You can locate the day of ovulation by ovulation monitoring kit or by ultrasonography also. That will help you to adjust your intercourse day.
I hope this has given you scientific guidelines.
