Hallow, I understand your embarrassing situation.

If you have missed your pills for two weeks and the condom was torn during the intercourse, there is always a chance of pregnancy if the intercourse has taken place in fertile window of the menstrual cycle.

Usually the egg release takes place 14 days before the next expected menses. The life of egg is 24 hours and the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence a week around the egg formation day is fertile window.

Even if you could not get the emergency birth control pill immediately, you can take it within 48 hours of the intercourse when it does give you protection against pregnancy.

I am sure this will relieve your tension.
