Hi Anonymous,
Anytime you have unprotected sex, you increase your risk of pregnancy. We can't tell you specific odds, but generally speaking, a woman of childbearing age in good health has roughly 20% chance of getting pregnant each menstrual cycle.
If you didn't use any contraception, you can request Emergency Contraception from the pharmacist at your local drugstore. I've heard it costs roughly $50, but it is designed to be a last line of defense against possible pregnancy.
Here is an article about emergency contraception to explain in more detail how it works: Emergency Contraception Update, 2010.
Here also are a couple articles that may provide some insight: Answers for Women: Am I Pregnant After Unprotected Sex?, and Am I Pregnant? Myths and Facts About Sex
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
