Early pregnancy signs do not begin until after you have missed your period. That is because it actually takes 10-14 days to even become pregnant after unprotected sex (from time of ovulation, to fertilizing egg which then travels down fallopian tube, implanting into uterus). It is quite a process, and if you do the math...this 14 day window is about the time you would begin your period. Kind of interesting (when you are in the mood, I know right now you are having symptoms and worried about pregnancy).
Diarrhea is one of those symptoms that can be associated with so many physical, even emotional, conditions. It can not really be a sign in-and-of-itself to pregnancy. Women do experience some "GI" issues when they are further along in their pregnancy, but your first clue that you might be pregnant: a missed period and then a positive pregnancy test.
