You sound like you are very smart and thoughtful, and I'm sorry you are going through this worry right now. It sounds like you are doing the right thing, and let us know in a few weeks if your period does not start...or please let us know when it does! I have every confidence that the condom you used worked (most do!), and that your guilt and worry is causing the doubt. That is a normal response, and I'm glad to hear that you are going to wait to have sex until you are ready. I wish you the best, and really do hope to hear from you again soon.
In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions. If you ever are too scared, you can call a GYN to make an appointment (at age 17, since you have been sexually active in the past, it is a good idea to start finding a gynecologist that you would want to continue seeing on a regular basis), or call your family doctor to ask about recommendations for a gynecologist, since you are late on your period.
