First of all, a bump inside of you could be a sexually transmitted infection. By not wearing condoms, you risk exposing yourself to more infection - and to exposing your boyfriend to it as well. A bump could also be a harmless skin irritation that is unrelated to condom use.
Latex allergies usually cause redness, swelling, and extreme irritation. One bump probably does not mean you are allergic.
If your period is more than a few days late, a pregnancy test could be an option. Be aware that if it comes up negative, it could be a false reading as it can take time for your body to build up enough pregnancy hormones to register on the test.
If your period does not come within two weeks, you'll need to see a doctor. It could be due to pregnancy, and the sooner you find out, the better. You have more options available to you earlier in a pregnancy than later.
If you have no period and the doctor determines you are not pregnant, it could be due to other medical factors - including stress.
Right now, try to relax and breathe. Stress can mess with your period, and being worried you might be pregnant is significantly stressful.
If you end up to not be pregnant, please consider getting an allergy test done to see if you are allergic to latex. Also be aware that there are non-latex condoms available on the market - both male and female condoms.
There are also a host of other birth control options, including the pill, patch, shot, IUD, etc. A qualified professional should be able to help you pick what's best for you - to protect yourself from an unplanned pregnancy, and also all the worry that goes along with it.
Best of luck.
