There are tons of things that could be causing nausea and stomach pain. I could speculate, but it'd be irresponsible. I will say that a full week of stomach pain is probably not stomach flu... that usually only lasts a day or two. If it's severe, and not getting better after a week, I think seeing the doctor again is a good idea. It might be nothing serious, but there's not a good reason to suffer.
When you go to the doc, describe the pain and the location well. Things like "stabbing", "cramping", or "dull" are diagnostic words that they will want to know. BE HONEST about your sexual activity, drug/alcohol use, and any medicines you have taken.
