The only pregnancy symptom you can possibly have so soon after having sex is implantation bleeding, so what you are experiencing is not related to being pregnant. If you end up missing your period, you can check to see whether you are pregnant by taking a pregnancy test a week after your missed period.

Hi there
I want to preface my answer by telling you that I am not a doctor of any kind.
I know you must be worried but honestly it is too early to tell if you are pregnant at this point in time. Breast tenderness can be a sign of pregnancy but it can also just be a sign of a pending period. I would give it time and see if your period comes. If it doesn't then take a home pregnancy test. If you are very concerned you can schedule an appointment with your gynecologist (and you might want to do that anyway to discuss birth control options) but I would not worry right now. It is just too soon and if you having cramps I bet your period is on its way.
Thank you for your question and good luck to you!
