The symptoms of cystitis are: tiredness, generally feeling ill, needing to use the toilet frequently - although it is very painful, and there isn't much urine. If there is blood in the urine, this can mean the cystitis infection has spread to your kidneys, and you do need to see your doctor. There are over the counter 48 hour treatments you can buy in your chemist - usually sachets of powder that you make up into drinks.
You get cystitis many ways, but it can come from sex, when the penis (with condom or not), pushes bacteria and germs inside you, so it is vital to mae sure that you maintain good standards of cleanliness, using a non fragranced soap or body wash.
Oh, and unprotected sex is never a good idea, but I'm sure you know that. Good luck

it sounds to me like you have a urinary tract infection - dont worry its not sexually transmitted - it just happens sometimes - girls get these infections easier than boys due to the urethra been a lot shorter than the boys.
Its probably cystitis - it can go away on it's own but it may be advisable to go to see your doctor.
If the sex was especially rough it is of course possible that you may have a small scratch that may be irritated by your urine when you wee. If it continues iw ould again consult your doctor.
It can be perfectly normal to have post coital bleeding - depending how heavy it is. Again if your worried seek medical advice.
having said all this it is possible that you could be pregnant (obviously) following unprotected sex but you probably wouldnt get signs for at least a couple of weeks. It is also possible that you could have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
I'm aure you know how important it is to use a condom when having any sexual activity with any one even if you are using other forms of contraception.
I hope everything works out fine for you - I'm sure it will - above all I hope you have learned your lesson and to always ALWAYS use a condom.
P.S Following sexual intercourse it is advisable to urinate as soon as you can - this flushes away any germs which may creep up your urethra and cause a urinary tract infection.

 That isn't a sign of pregnancy but you still could be pregnant. Sounds like a bladder/urinary infection you may need antibiotics so see a doctor. Good luck.
