Pregnancy: Is a possibility, especially if you had unprotected sex during ovulation, the best way to confirm is taking a pregnancy test, they are quite accurate. Good luck!

No protection? Yes!: There are days during the cycle that are more or less likely to conceive, but all days have some possibility. If this is okay, then it is okay. If not, use some form of seriously effective birth control. Also, remember that even some effective birth control methods do not protect you from stds. Get some good information - at a clinic, your doctor, online. It's out there! be well!
