Any time you have unprotected sex you put yourself at risk of pregnancy.

The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test, most tests give an accurate result from the day your period is due - just be sure to follow the instructions in the box carefully.

The symptoms you describe are common early symptoms of pregnancy, however, they are also common symptoms of your period being on it's way.

Breast tenderness is not a sure sign of pregnancy. Breast tenderness can be also present before menstruation. There are many subjective symptoms of pregnancy (breast tenderness, dizziness, anxiety, nausea, vomiting etc.) that vary in different women and that can be present during early pregnancy. Please note, however, that these symptoms can not be considered secure signs of pregnancy. Lack of menstruation is the first sign of pregnancy that should be taken seriously, although a missed period must also be followed with an HPT or blood-based pregnancy test. If a pregnancy test is negative, it is possible that a missed period indicates a functional ovarian cyst and can be checked at your gynecologist's office.
