Could I be pregnant while ultrasound scan showed multiple follices?

I had sex on 19 June with my boyfriend. We are 17 and it was our first time. We used a condom but I was not on the pills.

Last Thursday I went to a gynecologist for a vaginal ultrasound scan since I have always had irregular periods; the scan showed a big follicle surrounded by group of smaller follicles - the doctor suspected it could be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO).

So, about pregnancy: my last period started on 12 June and ended 17 June; I have not had another one yet. It could be that I am not ovulating this month due to PCO; I am aware that chances of conception after period are slim, especially when we used the condom. But, is it medically possible to be pregnant while ultrasound shows a mature follicle and other immature ones? Am I being obsessive over safety or should I be concerned to get a home pregnancy test, just to be sure.

Lastly, will PCO affect effectiveness of birth control pills? (21 days, rigevidon)

I have talked to my boyfriend but at the moment he is away. We have been together for 2 years and we want to be as safe as possible. I cannot share this with my parents and I am in a country where being under 17 means GPs have the right to call up your parents. Any help is appreciated.

As long as the condom was used properly and you did not have a failure like a break or tear then you are not pregnant. Condoms work so very well to prevent pregnancy if they're used properly. No, I would say that you are for sure not pregnant.

Edit: I meant under 18*** I did not specifically consult the doctor about chances of pregnancy. I asked for a pregnancy test but the nurse said that I already had a ultrasound scan and there was no need for a pregnancy test. (egg is microscopic and not detectable before 5 weeks? except if presence of mature follicles indicate impossibility of pregnancy...?)
