Hi,
It sounds as if you are wondering if your current symptoms (diarrhea, cramps, gas) are related to pregnancy, or stopping the pill? Is this your primary question?
Your symptoms are more likely related to a gastrointestinal condition-- fancy way to say "stomach bug" or upset stomach from something you ate, stress or other issue. If you have only had diarrhea for less than a few days, there are some over the counter medications you can take to lessen the cramping and flatulence (gas).
The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a home pregnancy test once you have missed your period. Since you have only been off the pill for a week, you may have some bleeding between periods (more like spotting), or your next menstrual period would begin about the time you would expect (about 28 days after your last menstrual period began).
It sounds like you are trying to conceive, since you decided to have unprotected sex after knowing that you were not using any other form of birth control? Additionally, you had a miscarriage six months ago (I'm so sorry to hear this), which tells me you were also not using birth control at that time? However, I am confused why you are using birth control pills, but if you are not wanting to be pregnant, I'm confused why you are having unprotected sex frequently? It makes a difference in that you would want to know when your regular menstrual cycles begin, and would need to be off birth control pills to know your natural cycle.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
