Is it possible to get pregnant from having unprotected sex the day after your cylce? I feel really sick to my stomach,kind of nauseous and I am somewhat hot and cold at the same time but I am not running a fever . Some smells make me feel like I want to barf and I feel really tired and weak. This incident happened just barely two weeks ago. Are these early signs or is my mind just playing tricks on me???

There is a chance everytime we have sex without birthcontrol and become pregnant.
I got pregnant on my period but miscarried. Also i did have sex the day after my period without any form of birth control (I am married and cannot take hormonal birth control pills/shot/etc.) and i worried until it was time for my period to start the next month and it turned out that i wasn't pregnant by having sex the day after my period ended. Im not saying that you can't get pregnant.
Take a pregnancy test and put your mind to rest...
This below came from the website http://www.peeonastick.com
How soon can I test? Well, first you gotta know how the test works. Briefly: the home pregnancy test (HPT) works by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG.) When an egg is fertilized, it takes about 6 to 12 days to implant in the uterus, and then it begins to secrete hCG. It takes another day or two for enough hCG to build up and make its way into your pee. So, generally speaking, the earliest you can expect a positive HPT is 8 days past ovulation ("DPO") and the latest would be about 16 DPO. It is possible to get a positive test earlier or later, but not as common. In my experience, if you use a sensitive "early" test (anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG or less) you can test around 12-14 DPO and feel reasonably secure with your results (the later you test, the more secure you can feel in its accuracy.)
If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)
Note: some HPT's say "test 5 days before your period is due!" or some such thing. Please note they are assuming a textbook 28-day cycle, with ovulation on Day 14. "5 days before your period is due" thus really "translates" to 10 DPO.
Essentially, you should remember that your high school biology textbook was WRONG. NOT all women have 28-day cycles and NOT all women ovulate on Day 14. For more info on this type of thing, see the Fertility Info section.
Here's an example. This is the textbook-perfect 28-day cycle with ovulation occurring on day 14 (in pink.) 10 DPO and later are reasonable days for testing (in green.) This is the cycle the HPT companies have in mind when they say "test 5 days before your period is due!"
Well, not everyone's body works this way. Here's another 28-day cycle-- but this one has ovulation occurring a little bit later, still well within the normal range. Watch what happens to your (green) testing opportunities!
All of a sudden, "5 days before your period is due!" is way too early for you to expect a positive test! (I tend to ovulate later myself, so by the time the "gold standard" of testing at 14 DPO is applicable, my period is already 3 days late! I needed to use an "early detection" test on the first day of my missed period. A "regular" test would probably have been negative-- even though my daughter is living proof that I was, indeed, pregnant ;)
Of course, it works in reverse, too. If you're an early ovulator, you're lucky! Check it out:
In this scenario, you could test even sooner than 5 days before your expected period.
Ultimately, it's important to remember that implantation is a variable thing. You may be able to detect a pregnancy very early on, but then again, you may not! If you can't, don't despair.

its most likely your mind playing tricks on you. Its rare to becaome pregnant after your period, but still possible. it is called your "low risk" days for a pregnancy. You dont ovulate till arounf 2 weeks after your cycle (14 days). so right after your period you're not ovulating. and also once an egg is released fromt he ovary it is only alive for 24 hours. so i would mos tlikely say that you arent pregnant. You probably read "early pregnancy symptoms" over the internet and now you really pay attention to how your body reacts to certain things. I was worried I was pregnant once, even though i didnt necessarily have sex. I was felling all the symptoms, sore breats feeling nauseous, ect. but i wasnt and your mind can be the devil and make yourself feel like you have the symptoms of being pregnant. lol rawr! But if your period is late. it could just be the stress you are causing yourself by worrying if you're pregnant or not. So wait till around 2 weeks or so after you miss you period then take a pregnancy test and see if you are pregnant, but it seems unlikely..
I have also heard that most women usually dont start to feel morning sickness, nausea, food averations, vomiting, till 2 montsh after you concieve. But all women are differnt so its hard to tell! Jst use a condom next time and get on some birth contorl pills so this wont happen to you again!
All of your symptoms sound liek a small case fo the flu though... just get some rest ans get better =)
good luck

Your mind could totally be playing tricks on you, but these are all classic early signs of pregnancy. Your best bet would be to take a home pregnancy test, but know that they are not always accurate. I had to take a home test twice before it caught my pregnancy. But if you do think that you might be pregnant, it would be in your (& your possible fetus') best interest to go the Dr and take a pregnany test. And then, if you are pregnant, you can start to receive vital prenatal care. And if you end up not being pregnant, you can also put your mind at ease.

It sounds more like you want to be pregnant thats why your mind is playing tricks on you. Go to a doctor and find out and stop having unprotected sex .

Possible, probably less likely if your cycle is really regular. Get a pregnancy test and a test for STDs and HIV. No unprotected sex is safe from those unless you had sex with a virgin. Good luck.

Yes it is possible to get pregnant. Sounds like you may be pregnant, but just to make sure you may want to take a pregnancy test, they're not too expensive. Good luck!!!!!!

Yes you could be pregnant, but it takes like four weeks before it will show up on any test.
