sperm can live in you for...3-5 days..i
think, someone correct me if i'm wrong
here, and the egg needs to be fertilized
within 48 hours after it is
released(again, correct me if i'm wrong)
so, having sex the day before you
ovulate..unprotected..probably wasn't the
best thing to do...

If you had unprotected sex but do not want
to get pregnant, then of course you should
be worried!

If you didn't want to become pregnant,
then YEP, you should worry. A lot.
If it has been less than 72 hours since
you had sex, then you can go to a pharmacy
and get Plan-B. Though, since you were
supposedly a day before ovulation, that
might not work since Plan-B prevents
ovulation... and it may be too late.
All you can do right now is take Plan-B if
you are under 72 since unprotected sex. If
not, then you are just going to have to
wait until your period and then test,
especially if your period is late or
light. You CAN get a period and still be
pregnant. My mother was 3-4 months
pregnant in college once and didn't even
know it because she kept having a period.
She aborted, but that's not the point.

Sperm can live in the body for up to a
week (seven days). So, you can get
pregnant at ANY TIME in your cycle if you
do not use protection. There is even a
chance to get pregnant if you are using
protection. So yes, you should be worried.
Please educate yourself before you have
sex!
