Brief Answer:
Get urine pregnancy test done

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Chances of pregnancy are there since you had sexual intercourse during ovulation period if you have regular periods (28-30 days cycle).

I suggest you get urine pregnancy test done at home with early morning urine sample.
Or

You can get blood Hcg test done to rule out pregnancy.

If it is positive and you do not want to continue it then better visit a gynecologist.
Since you are in early pregnancy doctor would go for medical termination.

Termination of pregnancy should be done under supervision of doctor.

Do not take any medications on your own.

If you are not pregnant then doctor would give you progesterone contains medication for 3-5 days. Once you stops it you will get withdrawal bleeding within 3-5 days.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you.
