Well, most of us have had a similar scare to you, but going by the days you had unprotected sex (assuming you have an average 28 day cycle) the chances you could be pregnant are quite high.
The most sensitive pregnancy tests might give an accurate result as early as tomorrow, but you would be best to wait until the first day your next period is due which is 8th August. This reading would be most accurate. If you test negative and still do not get your period by the 11th or 12th, then repeat the test. If it is positive, then visit your doctor as soon as possible. You and your baby require the best medical treatment you can get.
Often pregnancy symptoms are very similar to pre-menstrual symptoms, so do let those get you down, as worry can often delay the onset of your period. its much better to use a test.
If you do test negative, then let this scare serve as a warning to you to use proper contraception in the future.
I hope you get the result you are hopeing for.
take care,
Skye.

did he pull out or go inside you is the question? although pre-cum can lead to pregnancies i'd say if he didn't go inside you -your chances aren't that high
Your next period should be coming up soon so just wait and see- if you have a period and it's regular like always than you are in the clear. If you have a period thats maybe not as heavy- get tested. You can have periods at least one I've heard of if you are pregnant but it's usually very light.

Chances are chances girl. What you need to do is go to planned parenthood and take a pregnancy test. That is the best thing to do. You are so young you should know better than to have unprotected sex. Are you on any type of birth control. I can't preach. I know this must be scary. I have been there. I am here if you need someone to talk to!

I will be honest ... yes, your chances are high. The dates you named were very likely the dates you ovulated. Most women ovulate (when your egg is ready to be fertalized) 8 to 12 days after the first day of their period. However, you will take comfort in this fact: you only had a 25% chance of getting pregnant. Good luck and if you need to talk about it, I'm having my third baby soon ... feel free to email me.
