Probably not, unless: Alot of air. Most home pregnancy tests are quite accurate once you have missed your period. Consider using one to check.

Unlikely : A possible complication from home insemination is a pelvic infection that can cause blockage of the fallopian tubes but not " air bubble". Your period is late most likely because you ovulated a little later then you think or because you are pregnant but the level of HCG ( hormone of pregnancy) is low. I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test again in 2 days.
