Since you had sex only nine days ago, it would be too soon to be able to tell if you are pregnant. You need to wait at least two weeks before you can take an over the counter pregnancy test. Since you had unprotected sex and even though he pulled out, if you suspect pregnancy, I highly recommend you take a test. You can buy over the counter pregnancy tests at most grocery stores or pharmacies.

Going off those symptoms alone I can’t tell you if you are pregnant or not. Each pregnancy is very different from one another. While those may be pregnancy symptoms for one woman they may not be for another. They could easily be caused by stress or a cold, but they could also be pregnancy related. The only way to tell is to take a pregnancy test.

I am sure this experience has scared you enough, but hopefully if you plan on having sex again in the future you will use some form of birth control. Ask him to wear a condom next time and if you plan on having sex regularly, you might want to look into a more consistent birth control like the pill or the Depo shot. You will have to talk to your doctor about this as you will need a prescription.

Also, keep in mind now that you are sexually active you should be getting tested for STDs regularly, make sure to let your doctor know at your next visit that you are now sexually active so they can set up an appointment for a pelvic exam.

Hopefully your period will come on time, but if not, a pregnancy test is the best thing you could do.
