Am I p pregnant?


I had sex on april 14.My last period was april 10th.(my periods only last 3 days)The condom broke.I ovulated on the 18th or 19th of april.( I always ovulate sooner than the normal 14 days before my next period).Today is the 29th.For the past week 1/2..ive been having very subtle symptons that are making me think I could have gotten pregnant.First on the 22 and 23rd my breast were a little sore..not bad but definetley more sensitive.That never happens..not even on when Im on or before my period.That only lasted a couple days...then I noticed my mouth taste a little funny..like a metallic taste...that also has went away.And for the past week I have felt crampy..like I do a day or two before I start my period.Im not susposed to start til May 8th.These symptons
seem so subtle its almost like I am imaginig them!!I am not trying to get pregnant so its not wishful thinking!!!Also...since I ovulate sooner than the "normal" 14 days before my next period...will a pregnancy test work sooner?

*FYI*
I know that I ovulate sooner because on the 18th I had the "egg white" discharge...the achy feeling..and I took an ovulatin test on 19th and it was positive.

one thing to remember too if you ever dont use a condom, is sperm can live for up to 5 days. so if you have sex without or it breaks several days before you o, you can still become pg. maybe the pill or other contraceptive would be better.

I took the ovulation test because I was hoping that I really dont ovulate as early as I thought in my cycle...thinking maybe the "ovulating symptons" werent really that.My boyfriend was really worried about that and so when I started getting the discharge and achy feeling we went and got the ov test.My friend suggested we do that so that I wouldnt have to worry so much if I didnt actually ovulate when I thought I was.Well I was so this is why I am posting the question.Geez.So now can I get some real answers and not questions to my question.THANKS!

If you aren't trying to get pregnant, why did you take the "ovulation test" that you said was positive?

If you don't want to be pregnant, use a better form of birth control, or keep Plan B handy in your medicine cabinet.

Yes, there is always a chance of pregnancy whenever you have sex. And it's possible that the sperm lived long enough to fertilize an egg. The sperm can live inside a womans body from 4-6 days in the right conditions. And you are actually fertile days before you actually ovulate.

Also, when a woman doesn't want to be pregnant or is thinking/obsessing about it, can make her have the symptoms. It doesn't have to be just when she really wants a baby.

I would wait and see if you miss your period and then test. Use your first morning urine.

I was just wondering, if you are not trying to get pregnant, why did you take an ovulation test?
