Yes, it's possible.

A number of things can make your period late, but if this is unusual for you, taking a pregnancy test would be a good idea.

If you continue to have sex, make sure your partner knows to put the condom on as soon as he is hard and not to let his genitals come in contact with yours until the condom is on. Pre-ejaculate contains sperm and can get you pregnant.

Good luck.

I'll just add that if you are not pregnant and intend to have sex or to play around with a penis then you should look at getting yourself on another form of contraception too - ideally the pill. Provided you take it regularly and on time it is very effective. Using condoms as well is a very good idea and they also provide good protection from sexual diseases as well. Good luck.

It is a possibility and if he didn't put a condom on as soon as he got hard, pre-cum contains sperm.

You've got it backwards. You don't wait to see if you're pregnant before you get the test, you GET the test to see if you ARE pregnant. Get the test, take it, and you'll know in a couple of minutes if you ARE or are NOT pregnant.

Then the next step is to see your doctor. If you are pregnant....then you have decisions to make, and you need pre-natal care. If you're NOT pregnant, then you can discuss safe forms of birth control with him/her so that you don't have to go thru this again.
