If your period started AFTER you had sex, than you are not pregnant. Your menstrual cycle means you do not have a viable pregnancy, and you can not become pregnant after your period unless you have unprotected sex again.
Sex can not throw off your cycle (as your asked in your email to me); your cycle is regulated by hormones that are produced and circulated throughout your entire body on a continuous basis, with normal fluctuations of certain hormones. The act of sex, as well as sperm or semen, do not affect the production of hormones unless a sperm fertilizes an egg, and this fertilized egg implants in your uterus (creating a viable pregnancy).
You are not actually late for your period, as it is not supposed to start until tomorrow, so I'm not sure why you are so concerned...just because you haven't had any of your usual pre-menstrual symptoms? Many woman have delayed or missed periods, and may not have symptoms at every menstruation. If your period still does not begin after a week, it would be wise to take a home pregnancy test, but you could not be pregnant if you only had sex before your previous period.
