HELLO SAKHSHI,
Well since it only two days delayed, don't worry and wait for a week or more since many a times hormonal disturbances can cause delay in the periods.After that,you should go for a pelvic ultrasound, since you had mentioned scanty flow in the previous cycles.Many a times, scanty flow can occur after pregnancy which we called implantation bleeding.Alternatively you can go for a urine pregnancy test also.GOOD LUCK
