Hi..the day you had sex, being the last day of your menses, is usually considered safe that is when conception is unlikely..plus you had your menses,
however you can perform a urine pregnancy test by self at home which will confirm your doubts regarding pregnancy.
If by any chance it turns out to be positive, get an urgent transvaginal ultrasound done to confirm the site and viability of the embryo as bleeding during early pregnancy may indicate miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy which requires quick further intervention..
