Unlikely. Let's assume your periods are 28 days apart.
Pregnancy 101:
Mid-cycle (about day 14 for most ladies), your ovary releases an egg. That egg takes about 5 days to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube to the uterus. http://www.webmd.com/NR/rdonlyres/FB3DECED-6844-4558-A807-E5DA9119340A.jpeg
Fertilization occurs (usually) in the fallopian tube. Therefore, most ladies are fertile from about day 15 to day 20 of their cycles. When the fertilized egg reaches the uterus, it implants and begins to emit HCG, the "pregnancy hormone" that urine tests detect. If the egg or the uterus is not viable (if it cannot support a pregnancy, for whatever reason), the fertilized egg is simply washed out with the next menstrual period.
Therefore, if your periods are 28 days apart, your unfertilized egg would already have traveled to your uterus and your uterine lining would most likely not support a pregnancy even if the egg were fertilized there.
However, it is still possible to become pregnant any time during your cycle, even during your period. This depends solely on when your ovary releases the egg. If you had a normal period, it is unlikely you are pregnant.
There are two solutions to prevent this from reoccurring: birth control or abstinence. Every time you have sex, you may become pregnant, even if you are on birth control.

Women can get pregnant at any point in their cycle, including during their period. You should be using a condom every time, the entire time.

Anytime a guy squirts his load of sperm inside of you, there's the chance of getting pregnant. Even on or right after your period. You'll just have to wait and see.
WOW, very risky letting a guy do that right before you have your period.

YES. You can be pregnant and still get a period. If you don't want this baby, get a Emergency Contraceptive Pill.
