My period was about a week late and now it's here but lighter than normal. could i be pregnant?

Yes, if unprotected: Yes, you could be pregnant if you engage in unprotected sex. Your one week late menses could represent "chemical pregnancy" or extremely early miscarriage. Only way to tell if you're pregnant or not is to take home pregnancy test. They're very accurate once you're 4wks late.
