    Anytime you have sex can end in pregnancy. I don't care what anyone says, I do mean anytime. A lot of people will say your chances are very unlikely, but you never know. Also a lot of people will say you ovulate day 14, when that is only based on AVERAGE. I don't ovulate day 14, same with many other women. Some ovulate during their period, right after, right before, right smack in the middle, etc... All you can do now is wait. I know it sucks... but that is all you can do. It is too early to take a test. You're going to have to wait to see if you are late or skip. I hope you learned a lesson and plan to use contraceptives next time, maybe talk to your mom about putting you on birthcontrol. Use a condom, spermicide strips/foam AND birthcontrol pills, that way you use three forms of contraceptives.

    Unfortunately you are now playing the waiting game. Yes, ovulation is slightly different for each woman. But every sexual encounter runs a risk of pregnancy.

    What are your chances? 50/50

    Sex = pregnancy, you already know that.

    If you are not ready to be a mother you should be doing one of two things...

    1) No sex
    or
    2) Use protection.

    Yes that is about it, some people have sex once and get pregnant, others may have it 30 times and don't. But many just the one time does it.

    And even with protection something's things happen. When you have unprotected sex not only do you risk pregnancy but also all sorts of STDs

    My advice would be to do a test at home yourself it worse thinking you are everythingwill probably be fine and you will have been worrying about nothing either way its best to know as early as possible so you can look at your options I've been there and know it scary but a lot of the time the worry is over nothing and you will be more careful next time it good to get a scare because it won't always be negative

    Since it has only been a week after you have had sex... you may want to wait a couple of weeks or if you skip, otherwise you will be wasting money or pregnancy tests that will come out negative right now because your hcg levels won't be high enough. Implantation takes 6-10 days to occur so all you can do now is wait. Don't waste any money on any pregnancy tests just yet.
