I stopped taking birth control about a month ago. I was not supposed to get my period until two weeks later, but i got it the day after stopping. i had unprotected sex during my period, and i had unprotected sex again a few days ago. if i were still on the pill, i would have got my period today. could the reason i didnt get it because i stopped the pill, or could i be pregnant?

It might take a while for your body to get back on a schedule after you stop taking the pill. I would wait a little while and give your body time before you start thinking about pregnancy. :)

Did you stop you birth control pills in the middle of a pacakge? I"m a little confused by the fact that you stopped the pills but weren't supposed to have your period until 2 weeks later. That leads me to think that you stopped the pills in the middle. If you did, you will often have bleeding or spotting within a day or so. And you can't asume that your next period will be the same as if you took the whole package of pills. The next-day bleeding may be the start of your new cycle and your next period might then not be due until 4 weeks (or more) from this. It can take a while to get back on track after going off the pill.
That being said, if you had unprotected sex, it is always possible that you could be pregnant. Take a pregnancy test in a few weeks if you haven't started your period. Are you trying to get pregnant? If so, happy baby dust to you! If not, then it might be a good idea to stop having unprotected sex!!  :)
Good luck!
