Yes: If you have unprotected sex during ovulation you can get pregnant. All it takes is one sperm. If you were not ovulating or around your fertile time(days 10-16), you probably do not have to worry. It is important to listen to your doctor's advice so you do not have problems if you do become pregnant.
