Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Some amount of irregularity in periods can be seen due to many causes.
As you excluded most of them, you better consult gynecologist once and get examined. You may need one ultrasound also.
If no abnormality detected in physical examination and ultrasound, you may need hormonal profile including thyroid profile and prolactin levels.
With this workup possibly the cause for your delayed periods can be identified and treated.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
