Hi there
I can't really give you a chance on a scale of one to 10 without knowing the length of your menstrual cycle.  (The first day of your bleed until the first day of your next bleed  )   The average time is 28 days but it can be anything from 22 to 32 days and some people are different each time!!!  
My periods are every 26 days for example.

The only thing I can do is give you a couple of examples and hope you can work out which one applies to you:

because most people ovulate mid cycle and the sperm can live for up to 5 days and the egg for 24hrs there are certain days in your cycle known as fertile days (meaning if you have sex on those days you could in theory get pregnant)  

so if you were on a 28 day cycle your fertile days (counting day one as the first day of your period)  would be days 9 to 15  

or if for example you were on a 26 day cycle your fertile days (counting day one as the first day of your period ) would be days 8 to 14

if you were on a 24 day cycle your fertile days would be days 7 to 13

if you were on a 22 day cycle your fertile days would be days 6 to 12

As far as I can tell from what you told me you had sex on day 5 so in theory  the chances are very slim that you would become pregnant so please try not to worry too much.

I would definately advise you to go on the pill though as the method you are using is not really very safe at all.

Hope this helps

hi, i forgot all about it n aftr readng ur feedbk i m worried nw, n nw tym has passd 2 tak d pill is der ny othr way nw n wat did u mean by long n short cycle, wat r my chances on a scale of 10 wat would u rate??

There is a small chance you could get pregnant depending on whether you have a long or a short cycle . As it was only last night you can still take the morning after pill as you can take it up to 48 hours after sex. That would put your mind at rest and save any future decisions about abortion a few months down the line. You do realise that there is a chance you can get pregnant even if your partner withdraws before ejaculation??  some sperm comes out as a lubricating fluid while you are having intercourse!!! The best thing would be to go to the doctor now if you can and get the morning after pill and arrange for some birth control tablets at the same time . I know its a bind remembering to take them everyday but it does have its advantages...Like if your holiday clashes with your period you can take some to stop you having a period altogether. Usually the periods are a lot lighter too and no more stress. Just remember to take extra precaution like durex if you get bad sickness or diarrhoea for the rest of that month.
Where I live birth control tablets are free not sure if it is the same for you , I hope it is. Good Luck and try not to worry too much. x
