1) Unless you're allergic to latex (which you may be, I realize), or are actively trying to get pregnant (although I'm guessing you're not) your boyfriend should be using the condom method of birth-control, as it's a whole lot more effective (and somewhat less of a let-down, from what I understand).
Re: Late Period: I think it's likely that this is just post-stopping-birth-control hormonal changes, and nothing to worry about. (Or, conversely, it's you stressing over a possible-but-unlikely pregnancy, and thus not getting your period due to stress). Either way: Assuming you're not allergic to raspberries: Make a big, *strong* pot of raspberry tea (fruit or leaf -- leaf is stronger, fruit tastes better, or you can combine the two) and drink it all, over the course of a few hours. In my experience (granted, I've never been on any form of hormonal birth-control), this should bring on your period in about three days.

Good luck to you. :-)
