could i be pregnant?

recently i had unprotected sex, while he did not orgasm in me, i took the EC pill just to be sure. I will get my period tommorrow and feel as though i am getting it. my question is for my cycle next month (28) days from now is there any way i could be pregnant if i get my period in the next few days?

Hi!
If you have your normal period on time this cycle, and again next cycle, I think you can be reassured that you are not pregnant.  If your cycle is NOT normal--too early/late or too heavy/light, you should check a pregnancy test.  Also, the EC pill sometimes delays the period for up to 2 weeks, so this could happen, and you could still be OK.
If there is any doubt--check the test--but I think you will be OK.  Don't forget about condoms too!
Good luck!
