Hello,
Of course there is a possibility of pregnancy if you are late in your period. The pregnancy tests should be done at least 5days of delayed period otherwise they don't show the truth. Do a blood pregnancy test BHcg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
