I usually get my period every 33-35 days. My boyfriend and have sex without a condom but then towards the middle we put a condom on and when he feels like hes going to finish he pulls out WITH the condom on. Today is my 36th day. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. it was a cvs brand pregnancy test that tells you 5 days before missed period. I'm really nervous. I dont know why I'm late.
Hi sweetie, you are only 1 day late, so don't freak out yet. Stress alone can make you late, among lots of other things. How long ago did you have sex? If it was only a week ago the pregnancy test won't be able to tell yet, even if its the "5 days before" kind.
Also, I'm sure you know this, but using a condom only part of the time, and when he "finishes" is not a 100% safe way to keep from getting pregnant. If you are going to have sex at all, for any amount of time without a condom, you need to get on the pill or some other type of birth control.

May I ask, are you under the illusion that you are practising safe sex?
The phrase 'after the horse has bolted' may be pertinent here. There is very little point in his diligently putting on a condom, and even more manfully pulling out (presumably before finishing, you imply) WITH the condom on (your emphasis), if Rambo the sperm is already out of his penis and half-way (or more) up your vagina because he wasn't wearing a condom to begin with.
There are enough posts on 'can I get pregnant from precum' to make the point that yes, sperm may be few and far between in pre-cum, vs densely packed in semen / ejaculation, but it only takes one, and low probability isn't impossibility, and someone does win the lottery.
As soon as he's aroused, his penis and sperm were designed by nature to do one thing, make babies, so right now it's Nature 1: you 0.
Now: are you pregnant? Low risk isn't no risk. You might be. So what's the evidence?
According to the pregnancy test, from what you say, you are well within the window within which it should be accurate, so if it comes back negative, let's allow that it is probably (but may not be) right.
A day late, in the grand scheme of things, is not a big deal, except to you.
Think of it as Nature's 'gotcha'.
And consider whether it might not be worth going on formal birth control - the pill. Given your half-condom strategy, I wouldn't call it belt and braces, but belt and one brace, at least. If you don't, and you don't put the condom on BEFORE he comes anywhere near your vagina with his penis, I'll look forward to hearing from you again.
I admire your spirit: it was imaginative, self-sacrificing (pulling out) and almost responsible.
Now let's try it the proper way.
(And yes, you are still waiting for your period. Tests can be wrong.)
