It is doubtful that you are pregnant, since you had protected sex with a condom. Again, nothing is 100%, but condoms are up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. Good for you!
Any sexual encounters before your last menstrual period are not factors for you during this cycle, and any HPT you take between now and the next 2 weeks would show up as negative (not enough "pregnancy hormone" if you are pregnant, which is extremely unlikely).
Let us know when your next period begins! Your late period is probably just late, and is so common that there really isn't need for concern or to try to figure out "why". Doctors aren't concerned about late periods; they aren't even concerned about missed periods (with no pregnancy) until a woman has missed more than 2 or 3 periods in-a-row. It really is that common, although I know it is unsettling.
Any cramping you feel now would either be an upcoming period or digestive issue (again, a pregnancy does occur right away after sex...did you know it actually takes 10-14 days for a woman to become pregnant?! It takes that long for the egg to release, sperm to fertilize egg in fallopian tube, fertilized egg to travel down fallopian tube to uterus, egg to successfully implant in uterus...it is quite a process!).
