You have not mentioned how many days after the menstruation or on which days of the cycle you had unprotected sex. Usually, 14 days prior to the next expected menses the egg is released (ovulation). A period of about one week around this day is a fertile period; though variations are known.
With a history of unprotected sex in child bearing age, if the periods are delayed, pregnancy should be suspected unless and until proved otherwise. To find the evidence of pregnancy status, you have following options:
1. Perform pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample a week after the missed period; earlier the test may report false negative results.
2. Alternatively you may opt for Beta hCG test on your blood anytime after 10 days of the last unprotected sex.
This should provide you clue to resolve your dilemma.
