Almost a week late period

Hello doctor. I always have my period every 28-30days. My last intercourse was on march4, a day after i finished my period for that month. I got my full period again on march28. However, i had light spotting last april 20. And i was supposed to have my period on april 28. But now, i am almost a week delayed. What can be the cause of the spotting? Is it possible for me to get pregnant even if i had my period after my last intercourse?
