Hello
Thanks for your health query.
If you have had unprotected sex again after your last period, you obviously could be pregnant again.
Stress, anxiety or any kind of emotional upheaval could cause a delayed period.
If you are overweight / extremely underweight, or have gained or lost weight rapidly, period could be delayed.
Again, thyroid and adrenal hormonal imbalances might be responsible.
A condition called poycystic ovaries is characterised in women by delayed and irregular cycles.
Any concurrent medication / hormonal preparation you might have taken, could affect your cycles.
Thickening of the lining of the uterus or ovarian/ uterine tumours might cause such a delay.
Sometimes, it is normal for women to experience some delay / irregularity in the normal cyclicity of the menses. It is called a metropathic cycle and is nothing to worry about, merely an aberration.
However, because of the long list of possibilities, please consult a Gynecologist to have a thorough check up, evaluation, and appropriate testing / pelvic ultrasound to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
If pregnancy is a possibility, alternatively you can perform a home pregnancy test before scheduling your appointment.
Take care, and please feel free to ask for further clarifications.
