Frequent urination a week before your period (or indeed at any time before) could be a sign that you are pregnant, however it is not a conclusive sign that this is the case. Other factors could play a part as to why you are urinating more frequently and you should always seek confirmation from a reliable pregnancy test, or speak to a health professional to get a confirmed diagnosis.
Excessive urination can be a sign of pregnancy, but it can also be a sign of other conditions, such as a bladder or kidney infection. In either case, it is sensible to seek professional medical advice to clarify the issue.
