there is always a chance you could be pregnant if you have unprotected sex. if you don't want a baby, use protection.

did you say you got your period after the incident? if that's the case then you're not pregnant.

you can test 2 weeks after you have sex or when you miss your period.

are you trying to conceive? is that why you repeatedly had unprotected sex?

most likely if you got your period, you're not pregnant. if you want more reassurance, take a test 2 weeks from the last time you had unprotected sex.

it sounds like you need to learn more about your body before you continue engaging in unprotected sex.

if it was time for your period you wouldn't have been ovulating, which is what you do to become pregnant..

it takes the average healthy couple up to a year to conceive.

you need to have sex when you're ovulating. to know when you're ovulating you need to keep track of your cycle, day 1 of your cycle is day 1 of your period. you ovulate 14 days *before* your period, most women have a 28 day cycle, so they ovulate on day 14. in this case you should have sex on day 10, 12, and 14.

even if you have sex at exactly the right time, there's only a 25% chance of conceiving.

not every woman is the same and nobody knows *exactly* when they ovulate, so if you're not trying to conceive you should always use some form of protection. if you are trying to conceive, you need to pay attention to your body.
