Flu or Morning Sickness?

I'm hoping someone can reassure me here.

I kept waking up all last night feeling nauseous, and never could really sleep consistently, and then this morning around 6 I threw up, and as of now I've thrown up three times in the past three hours. I don't have a fever or anything; I actually feel pretty cold.

I am using the Ortho Evra patch and this is my third month. I just put my first patch on for the start of the third month yesterday. If it helps, I hardly ate anything yesterday, so my stomach is mostly empty. For the first two months I haven't really had any symptoms of nausea, just headaches and mood swings.

I really hope that this is not morning sickness because I am in a very tough situation right now and cannot afford for this to be an unplanned pregnancy.

If it helps to know, my breasts are not tender or anything like that.

What do you think?

TIA!

EDIT: I also want to mention that since last week was my week off the patch, I got my period like normal on Monday and then it was done on Thursday. Hopefully this means no pregnancy now either?

It sounds like a virus or food poisoning, not morning sickness, to me.
