Brief Answer: No contraceptive method is perfect. Detailed Answer: No contraceptive method is perfect, however using pills and condoms is very very effective. If you used both methods I doubt you conceived. Menses can occur anywhere between 25-35 days apart and be normal. Some women are more regular than others. A simple urine pregnancy test should give you a definite answer 34 days after the start of the last menses. Use a first morning void so the urine is concentrated. I hope you get the answer you planned for. I think you will.

Brief Answer: I would be shocked if you were pregnant. Detailed Answer: By using pills and condoms you are very well protected. No method is 100% but this is pretty close. I think the pregnancy test will be negative. I certainly hope so since you're going to such effort. You sound very responsible and concerned. I wish you every happiness in your new marriage.
