If I had three normal periods and the fourth is delayed, could I have fallen pregnant before the first one?

Absolutely not. Every menstruation means a cycle without embryo; therefore, if you had unsafe sexual intercourse before a series of regular periods, pregnancy is unlikely the reason for the delay.
