No pill + Condom + No period = Pregnant?

I posted here about a week ago about being denied contraceptives. It was through a Planned Parenthood that denied me because I am not a resident of the state. I am currently still looking for a place who will get me back on the pill.
However, I have already managed to run into a problem. I asked about having sex and just using a condom (no pill). Well, I went ahead and did it last weekend. I'm worried because I have not gotten my period yet this week. This would be my first period off the pill. We had sex a couple times and the condom never broke or slipped. Typically, I would get my period by a tuesday at the latest and it is already wednesday. Sometimes it came sooner on my last day of active pills. Now that I am off the pill, should I be expecting it to be later? Is there a chance that I could be pregnant? I am worried! Any thoughts?
Thank you!!

If this is your first cycle off OCs then yes, your period could be late as you body switches back to cycling on its own hormones. The stress you are under could also delay the arrival of AF so I wouldn’t freak just yet. No method of contraception is 100% effective, except abstinence, but I think if the condoms worked correctly you should be ok.
I don’t understand about Planned Parenthood turning you away. Did you talk to the office manager? Isn’t there some reciprocal agreement between PP clinics in the different states? (Does anyone reading this know?) Sometimes, if you talk to a volunteer she might not be familiar with all their policies. Where exactly are you from, and in what state were you denied services by PP? If you make over a certain amount they might want you to pay for their services but I thought they would work with anyone who came through the door.
Good luck

Thank you!!
Hi Chelsie,
Like Jill, I'm confused that PP told you that - never heard of it happening before!
Let us know how you make out!!

Is that what you are looking for?
