At the 2 week mark, it's even a bit pushing the "early symptoms" factor--but it has very well been noted. The egg has to become fertilized, multiply a little, attach to the uterine wall, and cause the body to start producing larger amounts of the pregnancy hormone, hCG. Your body would need to be producing enough hCG to cause hormonal and bodily changes before you would "feel" the pregnancy.
You very well could be pregnant. Most women don't ovulate while on their period, but it does happen to quite a few. Most women ovulate around day 14 in their cycle. I, personally, don't even ovulate around that date. I ovulate around day 20, which, obviously, makes all the difference in the world when you consider cycle length, sperm life, and sexual activity. More and more women are finding that they don't ovulate mid-cycle (day 14) like they've been told. It's partially due to stress, partially due to environmental factors, and partially due to added hormonal consumption in milk, beef, birth control pills, etc.
Your best bet is to wait until your next period to see if anything misses. Then, if it misses, take a few home pregnancy tests. They would be relatively accurate by that time.
Other than that, we can't say if you're for-sure pregnant or not.
You very well could call up a doctor for an appointment, and talk with the nurse. You could say, "I have a sore throat but I think I might be pregnant. What is safe for me to take for it?" They're usually pretty nice in answering those sorts of questions.
In the meantime, to soothe a sore throat while pregnant:
Warm tea sweetened with honey
Gargle with warm sea salt water
and here is The American Pregnancy Association a list of medication ingredients safe for pregnant women or expecting mothers (take any medication in small doses; don't go overboard):
