Yes,

There is good chance that you are pregnant.
Please do a blood HCG levels. Sometimes when a period is missed and there is just light bleeding it could be that the pregnancy is implanted on the tubes instead of the womb.Thus, it is very important to rule out pregnancy and also to identify the location of pregnancy if positive.
Do a Blood test for hcg and if levels indicate pregnancy, repeat it after 48 hours. See a gynecologist if you develop any pain abdomen,loss of consciousness, giddiness, or bleeding.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
