Can I be preganant? Late period, please help!

[ScaredKitten]

I'm 18 and I had sex with my boyfriend on monday. We didn't use protection (yes, I deeply regret) and now my period is a week late.
Needless to say, my mom is freaking out really really bad and is stressing me a lot and saying all kinds of things ( I never told her when I began my sex life)
It's not the first time I have unprotected sex with him and he always assured me that nothing got inside me.. you know.. but now I really don't know why I'm late.
If my mom finds out I'm pretty sure she will throw me away from the house (we had these kind of conversations in the past)
Do you think I might be pregnant? I've been really stressed lately and I heard that this can be a cause for coming late
Note: this last week I had a few normal period pains, sore breasts, etc but no blood
