Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
Condoms are only 88% effective when used typically. This means there are absolutely no tears or breaks that can be found. Sometimes there will be a tiny pin-hole in the condom that can slowly "drip" semen into your vagina when inserted so it's wise to always carefully inspect the condom after usage. This also means that if the guy pulls the penis with condom completely out of your vagina (even if it's just a big thrust he is about to do) he needs to change to a fresh condom. If this isn't done, the 88% pregnancy prevention is lowered dramatically, believe it or not.
The 88% effective rate means:
12 in every 100 acts will result in a life being created.
Higher chances than you'd think, hmm? Maybe it's best to re-think this whole sex-thing ;)
With typical usage, the hormonal birth control pill is actually only 92% effective preventing pregnancy. The 99% claim they advertise is actually for perfect usage--something that could probably only be seen in a laboratory setting.
The "pull-out" method varies between 30% to 70% effective on preventing pregnancy with typical usage.
None of these pregnancy prevention methods protect against STDs and STIs. That being said, the only "safe" sex is having no sex at all. You will ALWAYS be at risk for a pregnancy. You will ALWAYS be at risk for contracting a disease or infection. There is absolutely no "method" out there that completely prevents any of this except abstinence.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

I should have read on! Wait a week and see if
you get your period. If you don't, get a test
and take it for your peace of mind.
Unless the condom broke or their was penetration
before he put the condom on, you are probably ok.
