Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The delay in period can be due to various reasons one if which is pregnancy.
If pregnancy test is negative then you are not pregnant.
You can repeat the test after as week . If no period and pregnancy test still negative then you can consult a doctor to take medication to induce a period.
If repeated such episodes I'd delayed periods occur then you should consider the detailed hormone analysis.
Thanks
