If this was recent, get the morning after pill (Plan B). It depends on how long your period was. If you have a 28 day cycle and your period lasts for days 1 to 7 and then you have unprotected sex on day 10, that is not a great idea. It is too close to the time when you would be likely to be fertile.
If your cycle is 31 days and your period lasts 5 days and you have unprotected sex on day 8, that is not quite as bad; it is further from the time when you would be likely to be fertile.

Depends on how long your period is, among other things. Your cycle is calculated from the first day of your period, so assuming, say, a 5 day period, you were on day 8. The average woman has a 28 day cycle and ovulates on day 14, which means that you shouldn't ovulate for another 6 days, which is longer than sperm usually survive in the female reproductive tract. So I would guess that your chances are low, but as with any biological system, women's bodies vary. You might ovulate early this month, you may have a shorter cycle or a longer period than most, or the sperm inside you could be really good at surviving, all of which would increase the chances that you could become pregnant. I wouldn't be buying a crib just yet, though; your chances are pretty low.
Skip the next part if the preachy med student thing isn't for you:
Unprotected sex is essentially putting your life in someone else's hands. Seriously. Unless you *KNOW* that they have never been with anyone else (and think about the motivation to lie here- guys don't tend to like condoms) protect yourself! Most STDs are just embarrassing and painful (think giant oozing sores on your privates) but HIV can kill you in a really terrible, drawn-out, inevitable way. Plus, there are a few STDs that guys can carry without showing symptoms, so even if he looks healthy, that's no guarantee. Take care of yourself!

Chances are minimum but the risk is still there. Remember that the sperm could live for about 6 to 7 days in the vagina. If you don't want to get pregnant then use protection when having sex! Good luck.

If you have a really short cycle, less than 28 days, then it's possible to get pregnant. If it's 28 days or longer than you're probably not going to get pregnant. You ovulate about 2 weeks before your next period, but it varies from woman to woman. If you dont want a baby, then use protection.

It really depends on when you ovulate and ovulation depends on the length of your cycles. Just take the number of days in your average cycle and subtract 14 days from that. That will give you (roughly) the time you ovulate. But it can vary from month to month. I hope everything turns out the way you want it to. Good luck!

You have a good chance of being pregnant any time you dont use protection. If you dont want a baby use protection or dont have sex.....simple.
