There are already a lot of technical answers on here so I won’t add to that. To break it down real fast. . .
A women can only get pregnant when she is ovulating. This is *typically* 14 days after her period starts. The best way to know if you’re ovulating is to track your body’s changes by tracking your cervix and cervical mucus.
However, sperm can live inside a woman for DAYS if the environment is right. Watch out. It seems to be that the younger you are the more “optimal” this environment can be for sperm.
So while ovulation may not occur until 14 days after your period starts, you could have sex 8 days after your period starts and still get pregnant if the sperm survives until ovulation.
Hope this is helpful.
If what you're most worried about is preventing potential pregnancy, what you need to do, immediately, is get a hold of Plan B. There's only a small window in which this is effective though. Read more about it here: http://www.planbonestep.com/
The chances of you being pregnant are low, but not nonexistent. If your periods are semi-irregular, there may be a chance that any sperm that may have gotten loose might live long enough to fertilize an egg that may be en route. It's rare, but doesn't seem to be impossible

In the long term, since you've now lost the "safe" component of safe sex that the condom provided, you need to be on the lookout for potential STDs. You should get tested, but know that certain diseases won't show up right away - and can take even 90+ days to appear, so even if your first test is clear, you need to be re-tested periodically. (STD incubation periods: http://std.about.com/od/overview...)
Other than that, there's not much you can do except sit and wait. Prepare for your options if you do end up pregnant, and start planning for prevention of a recurrence of this mishap. A backup plan for birth control might be a good idea. (http://www.plannedparenthood.org...)
And as a mother, I have to add that it really might be a good idea to talk to your mom. She may not WANT you to be having sex right now, but it's very likely that if she had a choice between ignorance and you going on about it like this or knowing and being disappointed, but able to help guide and protect you, she might very likely choose guide and protect. It's tough on both of you, but it'll be tougher if something comes of this that you are not ready for.

Can I ovulate during my period?
For women who have regular cycles, ovulating during your period is highly unlikely. Some women have very irregular cycles, maybe coming once every 3 months or 2-3 times in one month, and these women can have the odd occurrence of ovulating during a period or what is believed to be a period. Still, the chance of ovulating during a period is unlikely. But because sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days, pregnancy could occur from intercourse that takes place during a period

Sympler, Your Health Buddy says,
The average menstrual cycle is 28-days – that is counting day one as the first day of menstrual bleeding then the next period is due to start 28 days later.
The period comes because an egg fails to get fertilised. The period comes about 12 to 14 days after the egg is produced.
Therefore, in the average 28 day cycle the egg is produced around day 14. Sperm can live happily 48 hours in the vagina or the uterus so the most fertile time is day 12 to day 16.
The least likely time to conceive is from day one to day seven. If your cycle is different from 28 days on average you have to adjust the calculations – the important thing to remember is that the egg is produced about 14 days before the next period starts.
So there's always a bit of guesswork involved.

Unless your period is unusually short or long, a week after your period ends is just about the most fertile time of the month.
Let's review the menstrual cycle. It's important to bear in mind that I'm talking averages here: every woman's cycle is unique, so yours may differ by several days from the example cycle I'm going to give.
An average cycle is 28 days. Day 1 is the first day of your period. A normal period lasts 2-7 days, with 3-5 days being the most typical. On average women ovulate mid-cycle, around Day 14 (typically 14 days before you get your period, which in a 28-day cycle would be Day 14). A woman is fertile for up to five days before and at most 24 hours after ovulation. The two days prior to ovulation are a woman's most fertile days.
So if your period is five days, and a week later, on Day 12 you have sex, and on Day 14 you ovulate, then you just had sex on one of your most fertile days.
If your cycle is different - if for instance, your cycle is 31 days long and you ovulate on Day 17, and your period is only 3 days long - then you might well be safe (Day 10 probably wasn't a fertile day).
Also if you're a teenager and your periods are irregular, you can't count on any one cycle to be the same as all the others - so a week after your period ends may or may not be fine. This isn't to discourage you from learning your cycle - it's very helpful to know what days are typically fertile and which are not. Just exercise caution and don't rely on the calendar alone as a method of birth control.
And if you're trying to get pregnant, don't rely on averages - learn your own cycle by temping or using OPKs or both.

When Did I Get Pregnant or Conceive exactly?
If you are facing an unexpected pregnancy, it is natural to try to figure out when you conceived or became pregnant and when you`re due.
There`re several methods that you can use to determine your approximate conception date. Nevertheless, it`s important to note that all these methods only give an estimate –it is very hard to determine the exact conception date.
Calculating an approximate conception date:
The methods of calculating an approximate conception date include:
•Counting forward fourteen days from the 1st day of your last period. This will give you an estimate of when you began ovulating. Nevertheless, this method may be inaccurate due to the fact that not all women ovulate at the same time in their cycles.
•Counting backward from the estimated due date. Your conception date will be approximately 266 days before you`re due. This is only an estimate and it can be off by a number of days depending on your specific circumstances.
•Going to a physician and getting an ultrasound. Ultrasounds are simple and safe medical procedures, and with one, you can easily get an accurate estimate of your baby`s gestational. Nevertheless, not all embryos grow at the same rate, so the estimate might not be accurate. Additionally, you have to wait for a longer period for this technique to work. This is due to the fact that early in the pregnancy your embryo will be too tiny to judge the age accurately.

Firstly Know About 28 days of the Menstrual Cycle.
If You Have Regular Cycle, Your Chances Are From Day 9 to Day 15.
Chances Are More During Day 13 To Day 15
Most Chances (High Fertile Rate) At Day 14
