My boyfriend and I have had sex with a condom, and he always pulls out before finishing. I'm a week late with my period, and i have slight lower abdominal pain. my period is usually 1 to 2 days late, but never a week. I don't know if I should be worried or if I'm just overreacting

Periods are never predictable just give it time but if it goes over like 2weeks then maybe you should be concerned

if you're really worried, get a pregnancy test
that will tell you one way or the other
but pulling out is not a way to prevent pregnancy
from Planned Parenthood:
How effective is the withdrawal method?
Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. Like all birth control methods, the pull out method is much more effective when you do it correctly.
Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly.
Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant each year if they don't always do it correctly.
Couples who have great self-control, experience, and trust may use the pull out method more effectively. Men who use the pull out method must be able to know when they are reaching the point in sexual excitement when ejaculation can no longer be stopped or postponed. If you cannot predict this moment accurately, withdrawal will not be as effective.
Even if a man pulls out in time, pregnancy can still happen. Some experts believe that pre-ejaculate, or pre-cum, can pick up enough sperm left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation to cause pregnancy. If a man urinates between ejaculations before having sex again, it will help clear the urethra of sperm and may increase the effectiveness of withdrawal.
Pregnancy is also possible if semen or pre-ejaculate is spilled on the vulva.
Keep in mind that the withdrawal method does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. Use a latex condom or female condom to reduce the risk of infection.

Definitely get a test just to make sure but periods are really unpredictable and sometimes even more unpredictable when sexually active.

She said they use a condom as well...
Slight abdominal pain can mean a number of things. If it persists or gets more intense, see a doctor regardless of if your period starts or not. As for pregnancy I agree with taryn that you should just buy an over the counter pregnancy test, perhaps 2 to make sure.
