I am 18 years old and healthy. I was on birth control for about 8 months, and then stopped taking it in November. I got my period on December 24th, and it ended on the 28th. I had unprotected sex on December 30th, he finished inside of me. That would make that day the 7th day in my 28 day cycle. I have been nauseous, had headaches, and been slightly dizzy, but none of these symptoms have been severe. I have also experienced extreme fatigue and extreme late night hunger. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Hi dmater99... welcome to AMHD,
It certainly is possible. Are you trying to become pregnant? Most women will find it takes a bit of time, especially after stopping a hormonal form of birth control, although some will become pregnant straight away.
Since it has been a couple of weeks, you could try a pregnancy test. If negative, wait until you would expect your period for this month and see what happens. The symptoms may simply be due to an illness as well.

My first guess is more the flu or cold perhaps, but it could be.
You will need to see if you miss your next period.
