bbecause you can only get pregnant if you are ovulating. your period is the time you lining is sheding due to the egg not being fertilized. If you have a regular menstrual cycle then you usually ovulate around the 14th day from the day you started. So if you are having your period you are not likely to ovulate for about another week or more. It could still happen though...if there are some champion sperm living an really really long time and you cycle is very irregular or short then you could ovulate shortly after your period. But that is not usual.

Your bf touched you a week before your period and then you got it on time but then now you are late with your period could you be pregnant?

No. Whenever you are at risk because of activity, you are only at risk for that menstrual cycle. If your boyfriend touched you and you had a normal period, then you are not pregnant. If he touched you after that and now you're late, I'd raise an eyebrow, but I wouldn't worry.
