Hi, I had intercourse 18-19 April, got my period as scheduled 30 April. However I am 5 days late for my may period. Can I be pregnant or is it more serious ?

You could technically still be pregnant. Many women have post implantation bleeding that resembles a normal menses. Thus some don't realize they're pregnant until almost a month or more after they originally had intercourse.
You could also just be late or missing it this month. If you're stressed out or have gained/lost weight lately this could be the cause. It's also normal to be a little late sometimes. If you had missed two periods then I would be more concerned about a medical condition, but right now I wouldn't worry too much about and major diseases.
My suggestion: take a pregnancy test. If it's positive congratulations you're pregnant, if it's negative and you're still worried or you miss any more periods go see a doctor to make sure you're healthy.

Chances are then that you're probably not pregnant. That you're just late.
But there is also a chance that you are pregnant and your HcG levels aren't up high enough
Quite yet to show on the pregnancy test. Wait a few more days and take the in home one again or go see a doctor. Quite frankly 5 days is nothing to worry about... now if you were more than a month late or missed two menses then I would start to be more concerned.
Also, have you noticed any other changes with your body lately? They might point to the cause be it pregnancy or otherwise.

Well if I were to be pregnant I would be 5 weeks pregnant already... I guess the best thing is to wait it out.

Then yes, your HcG levels should already be up.

So you're not pregnant. Or at least there's a 99.9% chance you're not pregnant. See your doc if you're still worried.
