Unlikely: but if are are late for your next period, be sure to check a pregnancy test..... and use contraception if you don't want to get pregnant

Yes: The likelihood is low but the possibility is real. Morning after pill , (Plan B), would be appropriate if today is the day after you had sex.

Yes: Anytime you have unprotected sex you are at risk of getting pregnant. Consider using condoms with spermicides to avoid sexually transmitted diseases as well.

Not likely, but: It's not impossible. Unprotected sex between fertile men and women is most likely to cause conception right around ovulation (usually the middle of your cycle - but it varies). Other times are less, but some sperm are long-lived. If you don't want to conceive - ALWAYS use protection. For this time, if you'r not much more than 72 hrs past sex - try Plan B. If your period doesn't come, test. Best!
