a Few Questions?

Okay so. I had protected sex with my
long-term boyfriend about 37 days ago.
And about 7 days after we had sex, I got a
regular period. It was about 6.5 days
long. It has now been 37 days since I had
sex, and about 28 days since my last
period. I should experience a regular
period in the next day or two. It usually
fluxuates. I'm just wondering if theres a
chance I could be pregnant? I am
experiencing tender breasts, they don't
seem swollen, and my aerolas seem normal.
Although lastnite, and this morning I did
have to go to the bathroom more than
usual, but its slowed down during the day.
Could these just be symptoms of my period
being on its way?
Thanks for your time :)

Tender boobies is a good sign of
pregnancy, but the peeing part is all in
your head.
You pee a lot much later in pregnancy,
from the baby pushing up against your
bladder. In my case, 8 or 9 months.
Wait a couple days & test.

Okay, well couldn't the tender breasts be
symptom due to the fact that I should be
getting my period in a day or 2?

Depends.
Do you normally have tender boobs when
you're about to start your period?
When I got tender boobs I knew something
was up, it's not normal for me to have
tender boobs because of my period, I got a
test and it was a faint positive. Took
another one 2 days later and it was clear
what was up..

I see. Yes, right before my period I
usually get tender breasts. Nothing too
too sore. Just tender. And right now
they're definately just tender. I also
just noticed they were slightly tender
today, and I usually get my period around
the 20th-204th of every month. It
fluxuates.

Increased peeing in the beginning is a
sign of pregnancy because your uterus sits
right on top of your bladder and as it
swells in the beginning to prepare for
baby it puits pressure on your bladder.
During your pregnancy you should have
increased peeing twice once in the first
trimester as early as 2-3 weeks pregnant
and at the end like the last 4 weeks or
so.

Increased urination is one of the first
signs of pregnancy because the swelling of
the uterus presse on it.
As the pregnancy progresses the uterus
lifts and the urination is likely to ease
off until the 3rd trimester when the
uterus is now so big that it constantly
presses on the bladder.
However this could likely be a sign your
period is on it's way the endometrial
tissue in the uterus will have cause a
slight swelling of the uterus and this
will in turn put a little pressure on the
bladder.
Tender boobs is another symptom of either
pregnancy or impending period because both
pregnancy and periods are controlled by
the *same* hormones.
Given that you had protected sex and that
you have already had a normal period
approx 7 days after that episode - it
would be fair to say that you were likely
to have passed your fertile window by the
time you had sex and also it is reasonably
fair to say that you are unlikely
(although not impossible) to be
pregnant.
Another thing is that if pregnancy causes
such worry that over a month after the
fact you are still worring, i'd suggest
either taking the relationship back a
stage (if he loves you he will respect and
wait) or seeing a family planning clinic
about other options of birth control.
On average (no not everyone is average but
for arguments sake)
on average a girl has a period every 28
days approx.
Ovulation happens approx 14 days *before*
your period (not after)
sperm can live upto 5 days inside you
and egg is only viable for approx 36 hours
after it's release fromt he ovary.
The first day of your period is counted as
day 1
so for an average girl days 9-16 are the
fertile days
*note this method should not be used as
birth control unless pregnancy is not a
problem because it is not always possible
to tell exactly when you ovulated*
for example if you have 36 days between
periods then ovulation is likely to be
around day24 so your fertile window would
be days 19 -26

Okay thanks so much.
And that sounds about right because I do
usually get my period
around the 20th-24th of each month.
So it should be creeping around here soon.

I've never had to pee much but before I
even found out I was pregnant I noticed
the veins in my boobs were really dark
looking I even asked my mom about it cause
it freaked me out. Lol neither one of us
was thinking pregnancy. But my boobs were
real sore especailly in the morning. If I
even rolled over in bed they'd hurt. They
dont hurt so much no more.

O and as for peeing I pee like every 10
min right now and since its hard for me to
sleep once I do fall asleep I wake up
feeling like if I dont go right now im not
gunna make (so far I havent not gotten
there) but is so painful to get out of bed
cuz my body is just so sore. The only
good thing about peeing is evertime I go I
have a contraction so hopefully my cervix
is ripening (i really hate that phrase
its like im a peice of fruit)
