Does Having Protected Sex During Ovulation Cause Pregnancy?
I had sex with my boyfriend on Monday (Jan 18), so I guess 4 days ago. I'm not on BC, but we used a condom, and he pulled out before he came. We're almost positive that the condom didn't break either. We were as safe as we possibly could be, so I feel as if I couldn't be pregnant, but I'm so nervous.
My last period was Jan 1-6, so according to my app my fertile week was the 10-16. But since I'm rather new at trying to keep track of everything I don't know the exact length of my cycle. It tells me my period should come in 8 days, but I'm so nervous that it won't.
I feel like I've had really early symptoms, my breasts are starting to hurt when I put some pressure on them (like pressing), I have slight backaches (kind of like needing to be stretched or cracked), and occasionally I'll notice that I have a cramping feel (like it could be a period but it's not).
The discharge I have right now is sticky, and I haven't spotted yet, if I will at all.
Could the pains be from being so nervous, my period coming in a week (hopefully), or because I could possibly be pregnant? I plan to test but the anxiety and stress of not knowing is really affecting me.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Protected intercourse even during ovulation will not cause pregnancy. Pregnancy can take place only through unprotected intercourse during ovulation. Only possibility of pregnancy in protected intercourse is there when there is a condom breakage. As you both are sure that condom didn't break either, therefore there are no chances of pregnancy in you.
The pain & symptoms you are having must be related to anxiety or stress related to getting pregnant. so You should not worry about getting pregnant & you would be fine. A pregnancy test is however not required, but you could do that to become stress free.
Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
