Brief Answer:
You should check a pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
With unprotected sex during the middle of your cycle, pregnancy would be possible, and I would recommend checking a pregnancy test now, as usually it would be positive by now if you were pregnant. If it is negative, then this may just be a late or missed period, which often happens and can be due to many causes, sometimes just stress. If the test is negative, and you still haven't had your period after another week, I would check another test just to be sure, and if that test is negative, it would confirm you are not pregnant, and that this is just a missed or late period. In most cases your period will resume normally within a month or two, but if you were to miss your period for 3 months, we would recommend an evaluation to try to determine what the cause is.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
Thanks.
