You need to ask yourself (and your partner) some basic questions. How serious is the relationship? Will you have sex again soon? What would you do if you were to become pregnant? These are crucial questions that need to be answered as you face the future.
Now, the mechanics. You said you "made him stop" because it "hurt real bad." This is not unusual for a first time. If you decide to continue to have sex, you will need to address this.
One of the most effective first steps is to be sure you have proper foreplay. If you don't, your vaginal canal (and labia) will lack lubrication and penetrations will be hurtful. Proper foreplay is different for every one. At its best, it is a set of emotional and physical acts that create desire and arousal for both partners. Under normal conditions, a woman will become "wet" and the penis will easily slide in and out of the woman, even if she hasn't had much sexual activity.
Before going to the next step of coitus (sexual intercourse), I would highly recommend non-penetrative acts that will prepare you for the real deal. Learn how to do foreplay. Learn how to pleasure each other orally, with mutual genital stimulation, touching, massage, love talk, mood setting, aroma, etc.
Explore your bodies. Take it slow. Don't worry about orgasm. Work on pleasure. Work on having fun, enjoying the experience, and exploring the wonder and mystery that is sex. It's a journey, not a destination.
Be warned, though. Sexual intercourse is a strong and powerful force. It creates a human bonding that nothing else can. Give it the respect and awe it deserves, and you won't be disappointed. It's a spiritual path. Keep on it, and you will be constantly surprised and rewarded.
(If this doesn't work exactly as you wish, there's always warming jelly. If you have a Dollar Tree in your neighborhood, buy "Warming Touch" in the meds section. It's $1.00 and works as well as the much more expensive KY products. You don't need much. A tiny bit will do. Be sure to use it as a part of your foreplay.)

If you're life style changed in any way (other than being intimate), chances are that may effect your period, as well as stress can too. As for having no type of appetite, it can take weeks before you show any symptoms, and some women have none at all. I remember one pregnancy I had, I never knew I was until my baby kicked. Second one, I was getting sick ALL the time, horribly tender.. the worst pregnancy symptoms ever.
As for being able to tell if you're pregnant or not, you'll have to wait. I would suggest waiting for another 2 weeks. If your period does not come by then, take a home pregnancy test, or for a more accurate test, go to your doctor for a blood test. If anything though, don't stress out over it until you are sure. Should it turn out you are NOT pregnant, I suggest either next time using condoms with spermicide gels, or getting yourself put on birth control. If you go to your local women's health center or planned parenthood, they will be able to help you with condoms and or birth controls. [ Rena-Chan's advice column | Ask Rena-Chan A Question ]
