Pregnancy test: Even with perfect use condoms do have a failure rate. To know if this is one of those check a pregnancy test. Condoms beat anything other than abstaining for decreasing the risk of STDs and they do work better when used with spermacides but if you don't want a pregnancy you need a more reliable method. Good luck.

Pregnant?: Although there are many potential reasons why you may have missed a period (this is not uncommon), would suggest that you go to the pharmacy and get a home pregnancy test kit and check a first morning voided urine. Good luck.
