Hi Shiny_123,
The withdrawal method is not the most efficient birth control method. It is often not used correctly, and takes great control. It has a higher failure rate than many other methods.
If this is the choice that someone feels is best for them, they must use it correctly every time and be aware that pregnancy will always be a possibility. No form of birth control will be 100% effective. If you are open to other more effective forms, discuss it with your boyfriend and decide on one or even two other choices to lessen the odds of an unplanned pregnancy even more.
It may be that your period is just off, which can happen. Wait another week and see if it shows up late. If still no period, try another test, making sure that you follow the directions carefully.
