Pregnancy Scare

I ovulated on December 27th and I had protected sex on January 1st. However, we didn't check if the condom broke. I got my period on January 10th.
Now, I feel my lower abdomen a bit bloated and when I press it it hurts a bit. I noticed this only the passed week, I don't know if it was that bloated before as well. But, in 5 days I will also get my period. It may be from that?
Basically my question is Am I pregnant? or the fact that I got my period after having sex excludes this? I don't have any other symptoms such as nausea, constipation or fatigue.
Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for posting.

If you had your period, this indicates you are not pregnant. Typically, a woman suspects she might be pregnant if a period is missed after having had unprotected sex.
