What Causes Sore Nipples During Menstruation?

I ve just gotten my period today and before today i had sex. my nipples have been feeling really sore since then. me and my partner have had sex mmany times before then, with and without protection. i ve also been having headaches, but that could ve been from the cold i had, maybe... but my nipples have never been this sensitive before and its rather painful. I am not sure if that was any good information, but i hope it can help you help me. could i possibly be pregnant, or is it something else?
