Yes, you could be pregnant. The chances are completely unknown because there's no way to know if your system was back to normal. However, it sounds like your christmas period may have been a real one, so I'd say ovulation was possible. Just take a test in two weeks. You can't possibly get an accurate answer right now - the sperm hasn't even reached the egg! If you don't want to be pregnant, then you can go get Plan-B. All it does is act just like birth control and prevents ovulation - that's it. It is NOT an abortion pill.

I'd suggest Plan b like Eiri said. Go get it tonight if you can, or tomorrow. It is most effective if taken within three days. Unless you intend to get pregnant- you can test in a few weeks.

Wait at least two weeks after the last time you had sex, three would be even better.
