Hi, im 18 years old and i have some questions. My period cycle is normal, me and my boyfriend had sex around 2 weeks and several times during the week before my period came. Also, we had sex another time towards the end of my period. Is there still a chance i can be pregnant? Because i've learnt that sperm can stay in the body for up to 7 days. Is there a chance the sperm can remain in the body until after my period and fertilise if my ovulation is early? We used condoms everytime, if not he did not inserted into me. But i have heard that pre-ejaculation may have sperm in it, but he urined before we fool around, does that kill the sperm? I'm so worried now and i cannot wait to have a pregnancy test, but it is too early. I ve been having symptoms as well ; feeling bloated, constipation, gassy stomach, a little nausea, and ache in the middle to low abdominal switching from the left to right to the middle constantly. I also have strong smell discharge. I am hoping this is just an indigestion problem, but it lasted for a couple of days now and im so worried.
I would appreciate it so much if anyone could respond to this.

Thank you so much for ur response. Because im always so careful about it i find it very unlikely. However, i do feel slight discomfort near my belly button on the right when i press it, i feel the need to vomit and im always burping and feeling bloated. This has been going on for a couple of days which made me worry. Thank you again :)

I'm a little confused as to what you are saying, as it was difficult to follow your train of thought, but wanted to say that if you are always using protection(condoms)from start to finish, then you have very little to worry about. When used correctly, they have a success rate in the high 90 percentile(can't remember the exact number). Though if you are not always using condoms and he rubs his penis on you before sex, then you are putting yourself at risk. Pre-ejaculation, the wetness a guy has when he was an erection, has been known to contain sperm in and of itself, so it does not matter if he peed beforehand or previously ejaculated or what ever else. It is unlikely to get pregnant by pre-ejaculation, but there's a possibility, which is why it is always important to use protection at all times. Also, if you had your period, the sperm won't survive beyond that. Sperm can survive inside of for up to about 7 days, but it has to be in the right conditions(close to ovulation). Hope that answered some questions. You can take a home pregnancy test 2 weeks after having sex or after a missed period. Hope it all goes well.
