Hallow Dear,
Your main dilemma is due to uncertainty about the dates of your last period.
In fact the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missing a period. However, you are unsure about the dates of your menstruation. Hence, you cannot make out whether you have missed your period or not.
The best way for you to decide whether you are pregnant or not is to get your blood examined for Beta hCG test. This test can detect the pregnancy 10 days after the conception; i.e. even before missing a period. In non-pregnant state, the levels of Beta hCG are below 5 while when they are above 25, the pregnancy is diagnosed. So you may opt for this test 10 days after your last unprotected intercourse.
I hope this provides you the easy scientific way to resolve your dilemma.
