Hallow Baby,

The period you had your first intercourse does fall in the fertile window of your cycle. The egg is released 14 days prior to the next menses. Considering 24 hours' life of the egg and 72 hours' activity of the sperms, a period of about a week around the day of egg release is considered as Fertile window.

However, it was a protected intercourse. How? I believe he must have used condom. Condom if used correctly has very good success rate. Just make sure that it had not burst nor slipped during the intercourse. These common accidents lead to the possibility of pregnancy.

Relax and expect your menses. Your menses are due on or around 13 November; so there is no reason for you to be anxious about pregnancy on 8 November. If your menses do not appear till 20 November, you may opt for urine pregnancy test. Done earlier, these tests may give false negative results. Beta hCG tests are more sensitive and specific which give reliable results within 2-3 days of missed period. You may opt for it also.

I feel, you should not require any of these and will get your menses in due course.
