I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.
I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

Right. For future's sake, some quick tips:
Buy a calender or use your planner. Whenever you have your period, circle the days you've got it. The first day of your period is Day 1 - continue counting up to see how long your cycle is. The average menstral cycle is 28 days long.
Most women are fertile around day 14 of their period, which is when they are ovulating (releasing an egg). Sperm can live in women for up to 7 days, so having sex from day 7 onwards can lead to an increased risk of pregnancy. While it's not a high chance of pregnancy when you are menstruating, every woman is different.
No matter what time of the month it is, anytime you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy (and STIs/STDs).
While it would be best if you knew if you were missing your period, you can still take some steps anyway. You'll want to access a free pregnancy test at a local health clinic, perhaps one specifically for young people. If this makes you feel uncomfortable or you aren't sure how to find one, you can buy a pregnancy test at any pharmacy.
Go home, breathe, and carefully read the intructions in the pack. Follow them exactly, and wait for the result. If it is positive, then you will need to access support to help you discuss your options.
If the test is negative, it does not necessarily mean you aren't pregnant. You can wait a week and retake the test if you still haven't gotten your period.
I would encourage a visit to your doctor (after asking about your rights to confidentiality, if this is important to you) to discuss this situation. Feeling like you need to throw up could mean, for example, that you've got some other sort of medical problem.
Only a doctor would be able to give you the specific guidance for your body and your situation.
I wish you the very best. Please feel free to ask for more info if you need it.
