It is very normal to just be "late". Especially if worked up a little about it! So try to relax! If it drags on too long then worry! I have actually skipped periods before just thinking I was pregnant (when I was trying). I think your period will come soon because of all the precautions you have taken. If other symptoms arise (even if they are not to do with pregnancy) then see the doctor. You can take a test if you want it will probably ease your mind! Once I was 2 weeks late so I took a test, it came out negative. by the time I left the bathroom I had to go back in b/c my period came.

Also having worn a condom, is this to say I shouldn't be worrying?

How long have you been on the pill? If this is the first month you could be pregnant. The pill takes a month to kick in!
How long is your cycle usually? Mine is 32 days and I can't take those kind of pills because when I start the new pack my period starts 4 days later and because I am on the pill (during) it draggs on and on all month, finally clears up then the free week comes again! not fun!
If you have been on the pill for a longer time and you missed one pill you could be pregnant but if you never, you might actually be late on your period because you are so worried! There is a very very low chance of pregnancy when the pill is taken properly.
