prego or just period symptoms?

Hi! I have been using a period calendar for months. I have regular periods. Started period on Feb 28. Ended on March 4. I had intercourse 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. According to calendar, I ovulated the 14th. Had intercourse that day and the 18th and 19th. The 18th thru today I have noticed very sore breasts and nipples. Also the sides are painful. I've been tired as well. DEFINITELY trying to conceive. According to calendar, I'm supposed to start period in about 8 days. Could I possibly be prego or am I just experiencing pms? Thank you for your help! This is my first time on A forum. Btw we had tried for about 8months. Have been together almost 3 years. Have never prevented pregnancy. Have an appt coming up for a fertility dr to see what's up. Again, thank you for any thoughts and advice.

You dont always ovulate when a calander tell you just get an ovulation kit they sell them at any pharmacy you use them just like a pregnancy test and they tell you when you are ovulating exactly but you can get pregnant at any time

You sort of avoided your most fertile window for some reason.  Maybe he was out of town?  

If you are regular,  you ovulate on day 14 and your most fertile window for conception would be the 12 - 16,  which you missed.

Of course, it's still very possible you got pregnant with sex on the 11th.  You can take a test the day you expect your period,  with first morning urine.

Usually the rule of thumb is after trying to get pregnant and having sex during your fertile window for 6 months,  it's time to see a doctor for a sperm count and pelvic for you.

If you haven't been having sex during your most fertile time,  though,  that changes that.

Hard to tell at this stage . You can conceive 5 days before ovulation so its pretty possible you could Be. If you are late for your period wait at least a week before taking a test
