Is Vaginal Itching A Sign Of Pregnancy?

19, me and my partner has been practicing the rhythm method for all time now (he refuses to wear a condom because it's not as satisfactory) and we did it twice last week (two weeks after my period) and i am expecting my next period this friday but i have been very stressed out, i crave a lot of food but not weird ones (such as chocolate cake, ice cream, etc) and starting from two days ago my vagina has been itching or maybe soreness? i don't know when i checked there seems to be some reddish skin thing expanding up to the vaginal area but (sorry for grossing out) i was still able to stick my finger in just to make sure the hole hasn't closed up completely. this vaginal itching has never happened to me before, is this a sign of pregnancy? please help!

Hi, rhythm method as the only measure is unreliable to prevent pregnancy as a fact (and esp so if your cycles are even slightly irregular) and two weeks after your period is a highly unsafe time for unprotected sex..so better perform a urine pregnancy test at home by self..and in future, use a condom during day 8 -19 of your cycle if your cycle lies between 26 to 32 days..
