Possible: but unlikely. Assume unprotected sex? You could test now. Be well and careful!

Yes you could: It is possible to conceive prior to your period. The fact that you are almost a week late means it is likely. Take a pregnancy test tomorrow. If you are having significant pain you should see your doctor.
