Brief Answer:
depends on timing of intercourse.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

The chances of pregnancy depends on timing of intercourse. If you had sex in safe period, then there are negligible chances of pregnancy.

Since you are having your periods after intercourse, this negates pregnancy.
The symptoms of pregnancy do not appear so early.

So, kindly do not worry.
Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
