You could, but it's not necessarily going to happen. Many people are late on their period, and then just have it a while later. It's possible to go weeks without having your period, and not be pregnant. You must remember that your menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones in your body. If the hormones are affected or if they are released differently in the body for whatever reason, then the timing of the period will be out. The body can change according to its external environment, and even things like diets. Hence, if there has been anything of a particularly drastic change in your life recently then this could indeed be the cause of your late period.
Many girls going through exams, or tough times at their place of work, miss their periods or come on late. This is because the body reacts to high levels of stress and worry, and hormones are released differently. Whole periods can be skipped and hence, you may not be pregnant at all.
If you cannot think of any notable changes in your life recently, and if your diet has remained the same, then perhaps there should be some concern. Furthermore, if you have had unprotected sex recently then you should again be concerned. If you have had unprotected sex after your last period and you are late going on a week, or two weeks, then you should definitely be worried. Chances are in this case you will be pregnant, and you need to see your doctor or family planning clinic as soon as you can.
Your doctor will talk to you about what you can do when you are pregnant. They will also give you a pregnancy test if you have not already done one. From here you need to make the right decision for you concerning the potential of you having a baby.
