Flu and Periods

[MsThinkTank]

A little personal question, I have a case of the flu and have had it for 5 days now. Am taking over the counter drugs to help with the symptoms. I supposedly started my period on sunday night/monday morning but all I have had is spotting no actual flow - can flu do this or is it more likely that I am pregnant? I practise safe sex and am unaware of any 'accidents' but I am always regular and never have any problems. So is it possible that flu could have knocked me out of sync? I know I have to arange a doctors appointment but a little moral support is needed right now as I am a little freaked out thanks.
