Brief Answer:
Sore gums is not a specific sign of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

Sore gums and teeth is not a specific sign of being pregnant,but is more common in pregnant women .
In pregnant women this is caused by the hormonal changes that increase the blood flow to the gum tissue and cause gums to be more sensitive, irritable and swollen.

Having intercourse in those days ,chances to conceive are very very big because this is the time of your fertile days(ovulation).
Hence wait for another days or best ,after the expecting day of your bleeding and have a pregnancy test done at home .

If the test is positive ,sore gums and teeth is from hormonal changes.
If the test is negative ,than see if you have changed toothbrush or toothpaste.
If you haven't done any of these changes ,than have a contact with a dentist.

Here are a few things that you can do to manage sore gums and have healthier oral hygiene:

Use a daily or periodic warm salt water rinse (1 teaspoon to 1 cup)
Brush your teeth twice per day, and floss at least once a day
Practice good nutrition

Be calm and wait for the result of the test .
