I am in the same position right now. Im guessing the only thing you can do is get tested, and wait it out. Im kind of scared to take the test myself, but my boyfriend is pushing it.

Great chance you could be pregnant but just take a test and see what the results are. Sometimes it might not be.

Yes, you could be pregnant. Having unprotected sex tends to lead to that, you know. ;)
Buy a pregnancy test and follow the instructions on the box. I believe there are some very reliable tests on the market. There is a timing issue, in that a fertilized egg would have to implant in the uterus before the hormones that signal pregnancy start being released and therefore detectable. I'm a fan of this little video for the timing explanation. It's way more entertaining than me reading you the spiel.
