2. There is always a chance of a pregnancy if you had unprotected sex on 18 August 2015. You should have taken an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of sex to prevent pregnancy chances.
3. Right no it is suggested that you wait for your periods and if they do not happen by 6 September 2015 then please do a home pregnancy test at least 15 days after the sexual intercourse to confirm a pregnancy and take consultation from a gynecologist.
