May not be pregnancy: aching muscles, backache and runny nose sound more like a viral illness and are unlikely to be related to an early pregnancy. Drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps heat or topical pain reliever for the sore muscles, and give it a few days. If symptoms persist, or you develop fever or aching becomes severe, see your Ob or PCP.
