Possible: There is possibility of becoming pregnant from either of the episodes of sex. If you miss your period by more than 7 days, do a home pregnancy test. If it is negative, re do the test in 4-5 days if you do not 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.
