Possible Pregnancy
Okay I'm 18 and about 10 days ago me and my boyfriend of 2 years had sex and we normally only have it every once in a while. Every time we used a condom and have no contact before hand that would lead to pregnancy that way and none of the condoms broke. But ever since then my breasts have been really sore and at first I thought it was just bruising but now i've started to freak myself out over the fact that it could be an early sign of pregnancy. I have no idea why they would hurt in the first place unless it is the week before i'm supposed to get my period and well as far as I know it isn't. I had my last period end a couple days before we had sex. We are both extremely scared and to be honest this is why I usually say no to having sex. Can someone give me any advice if this has ever happened to you or if you know anything?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
It may not be pregnancy, your chest may just be growing which is normal. If you're that scared, take a test but you more than likely aren't and can worry yourself into having false symptoms which is completely psychological.

I obviously can't tell you if you're pregnant or not but it seems very unlikely to me.
All I can tell you is that I've had exactly the same problems as you. I don't have sex with my boyfriend very often and when we do I also freak out about getting pregnant. And I also had my breast hurting after having sex which made me freak out even more ._. And I was never pregnant. It was all in my head. There are a lot more reasons for your breast to hurt than pregnancy so don't worry so much :3

I recommend buying one of those pregnancy test things from the pharmacy or contact your doctor. It probably isn't pregnancy, but you want to be on the safe side. Good luck! Hope you aren't pregnant for your sake <3

There are other reason other than pregnancy for your breast to be hurting. Just as there are more signs of pregnancy than sensitive breasts.
The first thing I suggest is the need to put your mind at ease one way or another. That means you need to take a home pregnancy test. If the test is negative which based on your writing it may very well be. Then you need to see your GYN to find out what is causing them to be so sore. My best bet is stress over thinking you may be pregnant. Stress is the number one cause of pain and missed periods.
As to possible pregnancy. You said,"I had my last period end a couple days before we had sex." In order to get pregnant you have to ovulate and eject an egg to be fertilized. Most women, 80%, ovulate sometime during the middle two weeks of their cycle." The other 20% can ovulate anytime during their cycle, including during their period.
Given when you had sex; the odds are in your favor that you were not ovulating at the time. This means no egg was available for fertilization. Their are kits at the drug store you can purchase that will help you to know when you ovulate so you know when to definitely refrain from sex.
In short my advise is:
1. Take a home pregnancy test. If negative go to 2.
2. See a doctor about causes for painful breasts. My bet is that a negative HBT will cure you breast pain. Even so checking in with your GYN is advisable for if stress was the underlying cause. You should talk to the doctor about this problem as stress will only get more prominent in you life as you get older.
