Not necessary, Your body is doing all sorts of changes at the age 16 w/out pregancy being the culprit.
I'm sad to hear you have to wonder this, I bet you wish you could talk to you mom or dad.
Here are the most common symptoms of pregancy;
late period
sore or swollen breast
nasea
If you have any one of these, get a pregnancy test.
If you can muster the courge, talk to your mom or dad or even a best friend's mom if you don't have a mom (talking to dad's is super hard).
Since you are having sex, you need three things:
Education on the subject (even more if you have had some)
A Doctor's exam, to insure you are healthy and disease free.
Protection: in the event you are not pregnant, you need to know exactly what your options are to prevent it.
I'm older now, 39 and when I was 18 I had to tell my mom. She got upset, but she and dad still loved me.
I have two older teenagers and I've been open enough w/them that they told me when they needed to know stuff.
If you're going to do grown up stuff - start now - by taking care of yourself correctly and by being open w/your mom.
Good luck

Wow, only 16? Well at your age your body is still going through changes anyway, and hot flashes could just be from you getting overheated. I get them during pregnancy, but not at the very beginning. I think you need to wait and take a pregnancy test, and then be more careful in the future.

If you been on birth control pills, then the heat flashes could be because of that... i use to always have them when I was on BC and even after I got off of them... just wait a few weeks and take a test... be worried if you have tender breast, neausea, dizziness and fatigue... Good luck

Could be a sign of anything. Including, high blood pressure, fever, hormonal imbalance, ovulation, the flu, some sort of infection, if you are overtly sexually active it could be a symptom of an std.

no, but if you could be get tested, and get some protection, you are only 16, you should also be tested for std's, i am not trying to sound mean but come on if you want to behave like an adult you had better be more responsible

I have hot flashes but I did even when i wasn't pregnant. It probably a hormone surge.

Sometimes. Have you had unprotected sex? Have you missed your period? Have you taken a test if you have answered yes to 1 - 3?

Until and Unless you had unprotected sex with a fertile male, there is no chance of becoming pregnant. Copulation is necessary to become pregnant

Your best bet is to take a test.
