A sharp pain in the lower abdomen is not a sign of pregnancy.

It doesn't seem likely that you can get pregnant if you had sex during the last period. If you want to get pregnant you should have intensive sex around the ovulation date. Ovulation hapens about 14 days before your next expected period comes.
