Am I pregnant?
My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex 6 days after my cycle started. For my next period, i was two days late and my period only lasted a day or a day and a half and it wasn't very heavy. I didn't pay much attention to the color though. I have been extremely nauseous and I have vomited and had diarrhea and experienced headaches. Is it possible I'm pregnant?

YES. You need to confirm that by doing a urine Pregnancy test on a early morning sample of urine in a LAB. Dont rely on home test kits. Most give a conflicting results at times.
Just like people know that the most important sign of pregnancy is absence of menses, we doctors also know that sometimes the menses do come but it's scanty bleeding .
So the only way to ascertain your pregnancy is by doing a urine pregnancy test
The symptoms you are experiencing are seen in pregnancy but could also be due to other reasons like an Ovarian Cyst, or pelvic infection or Urinary tract infection etc which may have happened due to unprotected sex.
Next Steps
Please visit a nearby Gynecologist and get examined. if the need be doctor will also do a sonography and urine tests to see if you have urinary infection.
Health Tips
Unprotected sex not only may cause pregnancy but it may also transmit infections from a man to a woman and vice versa, so to protect you from both, use condoms at sex. Always.
