Yes: It is possible and very easy to check -- do a home pregnancy test and if negative and you don't want to be pregnant use birth control including barrier contraception.

Yes: There are many causes for missing a period in addition to pregnancy. Common causes are stress, heavy exercise, weight changes, travel, thyroid problems or other hormone changes. If you are worried about pregnancy, and the first test is negative, repeat it in a few days.
