You are probably NOT infertile - so be responsible and don't risk a pregnancy that you don't really want. While it's true that many couples get pregnant from one-time sex, it's also true that couples who WANT a baby often take two or three months of rather frequent sex before they conceive.

You should be more worried about dying from AIDS is you keep up what you are doing.

 Stop having unprotected sex. You don't know what you might catch. As for pregnancy, the fact you haven't been is a blessing for both you and the child, and there is no way you can know whether you can or cannot based on your experiences.
Having a baby is not to be taken lightly.
Having unprotected sex in this day and age isn't either. You could end up with STIs or, god forbid, AIDS.

No that means nothing, and please do not go on having sex thinking you will never get pregnant. It is a very immature and reckless way to behave. I know someone who did what you did on many occasions and she thought she was infertile as a result. She ended up pregnant from some older guy who already had 2 kids and now they have split up (baby is less than a year old).

 No one here can diagnose you or suggest if you are infertile or not. Don't take silly chances. This means, don't have unprotected sex if you don't wish to become pregnant and don't ask non-medical strangers on the internet whether or not you have a medical issue.
Be smart. Take control of your contraception AND your medical care. Make an appointment with your GP and get in and ASK these question. Become your own health advocate. It'll be the best investment in your health you can ever make.
Be brave. Make the appointment. Ask the qualified nurse or doctor who has had a chance to examine you.
Okay?

 You only get pregnant if you have sex when you are ovulating. Not easy to work out when you are young. It's just a matter of the laws of probability and your menstrual cycle.

 I guess you'll find out soon enough but just because you didn't get pregnant before dosen't mean you can't ever get pregnant. I've got a suggestion, find someone you love get married and stop taking the pill, if you have a baby, keep it and live a happy life.

Assuming the guy didn't come inside of you there's no reason to think you should have become pregnant.
I've been using the pull out method for years and never had accidental kids.

 I suggest you go get checked for STD's - you might have gotten REAL lucky in avoiding a pregnancy there, but don't forget some STD can render you infertile too.
And unprotected sex? It's always a dumb thing if you aren't looking to get pregnant.

there is a very brief window every month when you release an egg where you can get pregnant.
stop taking chances.

 You just got lucky that's all. Relax and stay on the birth control.

In that time I did think I was infertile because how was I lucky enough to not wind up pregnant for 4 years!? Finally my luck had run out and I was pregnant. Thankfully I had a miscarriage, and I only say thankfully considering the relationship I was in. So moral of the story, more then likely you are not infertile. Birth control is a great idea! When you are ready for that step, there are plenty of ways to be sure. Until then I wouldn't worry!

 It depends what point of your menstrual cycle you are at when you have intercourse, you may of had sex on days when you are least fertile (when you're not ovulating).
Or it could be low sperm count before you rule yourself infertile, speak to a doctor if you are worried.

 Why are you having unprotected sex? That's really dangerous.
Anyways, no it doesn't mean anything is wrong. You only have about a 5-7 day window every month to get pregnant and if you were lucky enough to miss that window, you wouldn't get pregnant. Just use protection from now on.
