 You got wonderful advice. If you used a condom correctly, the odds of you being pregnant are super slim, but not impossible. Don't be scared to take a test - no one will see the results but you and your boyfriend. It is better to take a pregnancy test NOW and know than to wait and find yourself nine months pregnant.
You are a bit young to be having sex, but if you insist on having it, you need to find yourself a second form of birth control. Their are plenty of options for you that will keep you twice as safe! The Pill, The Nuva Ring, and IUD, whatever...
Good luck, sweetness!

 If you used the condom properly, then you have a 99% chance you're not pregnant. If you used lambskin condoms your chances are more that you could be pregnant, lambskin 'breathes.' If it broke, you could be pregnant or if it slipped off when he pulled out, you could have had some leakage and be pregnant. My guess is if you two did use it properly, you'll be fine. Sometimes stressing over things causes you to be late too. Go to a counselor at your school and have a pee test done just to be sure. They'll help steer you in the right direction either way.YOu are a bit young, so if you are going to have sex, be responsible. Good Luck!

 Just to add to CorpusDei's advice. Once you are on the pill (if that is what you choose to do) dont stop using condoms. Use both!!

 A big part of it depends on what birth control methods you're using. If you're just using a condom, then chances are low, but there is still a possibility, depending on if the condom was used properly. If you're on an oral contraceptive (the pill) or the depo shot and a condom then the chances are virtually zero. As for the pains and the missed period, that is a concern, but can be attributed to a number of things (stress, illness, medication, etc.) Regardless, after two weeks a pregnancy test will be accurate, so you need to go take one - if for no other reason than to make sure you aren't.
Bottom line, and this is a fact, this is a stone cold truth, - If you're not ready to make that long walk to the chemist to get a pregnancy test, then you're not ready to have sex. Having said that, if you're going to continue to be sexually active, then once you get the test and pee on the stick and find out everything is OK, then talk to your doctor about getting on the pill. When taken regularly and correctly, it's a far more effective means of birth control than condoms alone.
