Well, I could jump on the "bad teenager, stop having unprotected sex" bandwagon, but I think I'll step up and play science advocate.
Until you ovulate, and one of your ovaries sends an ova into your uterine lining, you cannot become pregnant. Ovulation typically occurs 7 to 8 days after your period.
Knowing that, only you can truly say when you ovulated (most girls know). As noted in a previous post, the viability of sperm after ejaculation is at most 2 days. Unfortunately, the ones that last that long are the ones likely to overcome the ova's outer layer.
If the ova entered the uterine lining at a time when there could be sperm present, then you could be pregnant. In the future, you should consider protected activity, for the sake of pregnancy as well as health (STD) risks.

If you dont know that yes it is a possibility that you could be pregnant anytime you have sex without protection then i'm sorry to say but you dont need to be having sex. Being pregnant isnt the only thing you should worry about, infections and diseases as well. You should go to some of the websites that lets you know more about being pregnant so you can read and understand what goes on. You can also talk to your parents about having sex and becoming pregnant, they can definitely help you out in that choice of topic, remember they had you...

Did he do that against your request?? If so, what a jerk!!! >:(
To answer your question, yes ~ you could be pregnant...BUT there is also a good chance that you're not. When I was a young teenager, I use to believe that I could not get pregnant if I only had sex during the week after my period ended. (So I would have sex only during the seven days after my period ended, and not have sex after that.) I know now as an adult that this was faulted reasoning; HOWEVER, it worked. One day, I was having sex with a guy I barely knew, and the condom came off his dick and he didn't tell me about it. I found out an hour later when I went pee and it fell out into the toilet! I was SO scared! I barely knew this guy, and he was obviously a jerk for not telling me, so I didn't want to be pregnant by him! But thank God, I ended up not becoming pregnant. (And this guy had a baby with another girl, so I know it's not because his sperm was bad.) So hopefully, that same rationale will work for you.... that is, since this happened to you immediately after your period ended, there is a good chance that you are NOT pregnant.
Women are all different and begin ovulating at different times (some begin ovulating right after their period ends, but typically women won't begin ovulating until a week after their period ends...that's were my childhood rationale came from). It worked for me... so fingers crossed for you. :) By the way, doctors have told me many times that a pregnancy test does no good until after you've missed your period; so don't waste your money on one unless you miss it.
Also, if you don't want to be pregnant, you can get the "day after" pill (also called Plan B). You can get it from a free clinic, like Planned Parenthood; or if you have medical insurance, call your doctor and tell him/her you need it right away and they can call it over to a pharmacy immediatly. (You have to take it within 3 days of the "accident" for it to work.) It's two little pills, and you can take them both at the same time (instructions say take one now, and the other 12 hours from then, but that has changed; doctors say they're just as effective to take them at the same time now). All it does it temporarily alter the blood lining of your uterus to not permit an egg from implanting itself, so any egg in there will come out with your period. I've used it four times myself in the past two years.
Take care.

Chances are you could be. You'll have to wait until your next period is due now though unless you took the morning after pill (which doesn't always work). Assuming you don't want to be pregnant and it's less than a week after having intercourse you can have a coil fitted as a form of emergency contraception. It works by not letting the fertilized egg implant. If you don't want to become pregnant I suggest you think about long term contraception such as the pill, coil or implants, as well as condoms if you have only recently been dating your boyfriend.

Yes it is possible it all depends on the length of your cycle ... the first day of your cycle is the fist day you start your period ... so if your period usually last 7 days then the incident in question would be day number 10 and females on a 28 day cycle (which is common) usually ovulate between day 12 and 16... once again depending on your cycle... but remember sperm can live up to 72 hours so there is a chance that pregancy could occur ...

Very much so! Girl, what were you thinking? Unless you wanted to get pregnant. If I were you, I'd find out as soon as I could if I was pregnant or not. Because if you are your life is going to change dramatically. And you got to be ready for that. Plus, ya gotta take good care of your body is there's a baby growing in it. Best wishes

Ovulation usually occurs 10-14 days after the first day of your period but sperm can live in the body for up to 3 days so you are especially at risk if your period lasted 4 days or more or if your cycle is not regular.

Not likely. It was to soon for you to be ovulating, this is usually in the middle of your cycle. About 1 1/2 to 2 weeks after the end of your period.

It all depends on when you ovulate. My doctor told me to count 14 days counting the 1st day of your period. That is when you are ovulating, and you have to be the most careful at this time! You could be but I doubt it, you have to ovulate to get pregnant. I would take a test in another week or so, I hope this helps you
God bless

well sperm dies in you body after he has ejaculated into you..1-2 days it dies...you can be pregnant...but i would ask a doctor for a pregancy test he/she can give you...they are 100% more right than the ones that are instore...store ones are through pee..the doctor ones are blood...and more accurate...
You also release a frest new egg after your period...so I say you can be preggers...but i would ask my doctor for a pregnancy test from them just to be sure.
