HI,
A normally menstruating lady in fertile age.. having un protected sex & getting delayed periods.. the first diagnosis is pregnancy. Yes, you have possibility of pregnancy. But there are many other factors which cause delay in periods like-
Hormonal imbalance due to psychological stress/ illness & medication/ thyroid or ovarian problems.
The pregnancy can be confirmed by blood HCG test ( as urine test may have false result due to infection you had )/ USG scan of pelvis ( after 5 weeks )
Thanks.
