Unfortunately, no type of protection is 100%. (except abstinence, blah blah blah) Women can ovulate at the begining of their cycle, at the end, or anytime in between. And it's not even the same all the time for the same woman, factors such as stress, drugs, hormone levels, travel, you name it! they can all affect ovulation and the menstrual cycle.
Cause for concern can also be evaluated on how strict your cycle usually is. When I was on the pill, I knew my flow would start on Monday between 4pm and 6pm. Quite convenient! But since being off the pill for 6 months, my "start date" can be off by as much as a week.
If you do think you're pregnant, my recommendation would be to treat your body as you would if you were pregnant, until you get results from a test (no drugs, booze, cigarettes, etc). If you're not pregnant, talk to your partner about having even safer sex, if pregnancy is unwanted (pair a male condom with a diaphragm or birth control pill). If you are pregnant, talk to a doctor about your situation, whatever that may be.
Above all, remember that your body is your own, and the only one you get. Always take care of yourself, no matter what may happen! Good luck!

Have you ever been late before?,, and are you under stress all these factors make a difference in your period too, as for protection what type did you use condom, or inserts, you were not clear on what type, so if you use the protection incorrectly then chances are you might be pregnant. Simply put just take the test at home and wait for the results. good luck

You can become pregnant any time you have sex. Condoms break or may have microscopic tears. The pill is only 99% effective when used exactly as directed. (With sex twice a week, that's one baby per year!)
Buy a home test and check. If you're not ready for a baby, use more than one form of protection.

You usually ovulate about 5-7 days after the period. You should take a pregnancy test.

unlikely... but sure there is a rare possibility of it! condoms are not fool proof AND sperm can live in the body between 1-5 DAYS. so, if you ovulate on the 12th day of your cycle for example... considering the first day of your last period DAY ONE... how many days after your period do you consider to be a FEW days afterwards? do the math and see what you come up with!

You could be. Condoms can break. Some women can ovulate at almost any time in their cycle. If you don't get your period soon, you need to buy a pregnancy test and see what it says.

Depends on the protection you used. Have you been stressed?

it's possible. wait a week. then take a test. in the meantime, try to relax. stress can make you skip. also, being young usually means that your period is irregular anyway.
