Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If both of you had your underwear on during the episode, pregnancy is unlikely. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 2

why is a menstrual cycle called a period?

Accepted Answer

Occurs monthly: Colloquialisms are odd. Since menses occur about every 28 days in human females, there is a periodicity to them. It's an older term meaning regularly occurring.

Accepted Answer

2 wks before period: Most women will ovulate about 2 weeks before the onset of their next period. With a 30 days cycle, that means around day 16. It is a good idea to start a few days before you expect ovulation and to understand that the date of expected ovulation is an approximation.
