Yes: Pregnancy is possible. Take a home pregnancy test if you're late and see your doctor.

Of course: Anyone who has sex without birth control or condoms runs the risk of getting pregnant. I hope you know that. If you do not want to be pregnant please go back on birth control and use condoms. If intercourse was less than 72 hours ago then you may use over the counter Plan B to decrease the pregnancy risk.
