Possible: A pregnancy test will answer hat question for you. By the time your period is due the test will be positive if you are indeed pregnant.

You could: be. Only way to tell would be to take a pregnancy test. If it is negative but u still haven't had a period repeat in a week or take a serum pregnancy test at your doctors,
