Possible: It's possible especially if you've had unprotected sex and even more so if you had unprotected sex around ovulation (mid cycle). You should definitely do home pregnancy test. If it is negative, however, you need to repeat it in a week or so. If still negative, wait and see if your period may come when it is due next time. If still no period, seek local care.
