What Causes Delay In Periods?

hello
first of all don't panic
delay in periods besides pregnancy can be due to other causes like stress, thyroid disease, hyperprolactinemia, polycystic ovarian disease

but if a sexually active woman with previous normal regular periods has delayed periods , pregnancy should be ruled out

in ur case no history of condoms or any other birth control method
just wiping & squeezing of male genitalia before penetration does not exclude the risk of pregnancy

also u r experiencing delayed periods by 6 days
( i presume had previous normal regular periods )
u should go for home urine pregnancy test with first morning urine sample
if Upt negative u can repeat it after 4 to 5 days
alternatively u can go for blood test ( bhcg )

even if pregnancy diagnosed u can go for medical termination of pregnancy till 9 weeks

I would advise you to ensure condom use in future


hope this would allay ur worries
