Now, onto your period - was it a normal period, or was it spotty? If it was normal, chances are you are not pregnant.
If you're having a lot of sex, though, you could have a urinary tract infection. It can make you feel like you need to pee a lot, or it can burn when you pee, or both.
I'd see a doctor about it - you can get a short dose of medication and be fine, if a UTI is the problem. If it is, then you'll want to make sure your boyfriend is more gentle sexually and that you're drinking cranberry juice - it can help keep your urinary tract healthy.

crystal200022us answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 2:09 am: Well, there is a few things that I can tell you about. First off, this whole thing doesn't necesarily mean your pregnant. You say you have been peeing a lot lately. Well, a lot of times I'm the same way and I totally understand and it's really annoying but I've learned that it very well might be that you're dehydrated so you should just drink more water to help that. It has helped me a lot. Also, some birth control pills do make you gain some weight so that could be part of the problem and you are eating more. The best thing, though, is to talk to your gynocologist if you really think you're pregnant. I really doubt it though especially if you're on birth control because that is like 99% accurate. I hope this helps!

xiiLoVeyOux answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 2:09 am: I personally was pregnet and it was the biggest mistake of my life.. if your birthcontrol wasnt working you need to find a new one(obviously) but when your weight gains 20 pounds that is a tad unusaul.. but it also could be hormones changing in your body and you should talk to a doctor, your mom or anyone you can! doctor is most likely the answer for this! xO nicole [ xiiLoVeyOux's advice column | Ask xiiLoVeyOux A Question ]
blackmamba answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 1:45 am: some birth contol, like the one i am on, has a diuretic, which gets rid of the water in your body so you arent bloated. so in turn, i pee like every half hour too. another side effect of some birth control is mild weight gain. the 20 lbs could be due to some of the mild weight gain and hormone changes. i highly doubt you are pregnant, but if you are really worried about it you should get a home pregnancy test or see a doctor. also, you should always ALWAYS wear a condom for a second method of birth control to be extra safe so you'll never have a scare like this again. :) [ blackmamba's advice column | Ask blackmamba A Question ]
hismndrismxO answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 12:41 am: You can be going to the bathroom so much because of drinking before you go to bed , or you may have something wrong with your bladder. So you should try not drinking alot before you go to bed and if it continues you should ask a doctor. About the weight thing , when some people are on birth control they have different effects on them and one of them is gaining alot of weight so you may not exactly be pregnant it could just be from the pill. Hope we helped! Rate us please! [ hismndrismxO's advice column | Ask hismndrismxO A Question ]
DrAnqel answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 12:40 am: maybe your having an issue with your metabolism, you should take a pregnancy test even though your probably not pregnant, you don't have enough symptoms to be pregnant so dont worry, take a pregnancy test to double check, i hope it all works out for you and i really hope that i helped. -dr.anqel [ DrAnqel's advice column | Ask DrAnqel A Question ]
MFS answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 12:40 am: first off, go see a doctor - you could have a bladder infection causing your increased urination. And if you're not able to handle pregnancy, why are you having sex in the first place? Birth control is NOT a guarantee that you won't get pregnant... in fact, most data shows it is only about 97% effective. If you just had your period, you are likely not pregnant, though, and the weight gain is not an instantaneous thing - but 20 pounds is rather significant, which makes me think you have some other illness causing it. Go see a doctor. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
