Brief Answer:
get a serum beta hcg test done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If you have missed your menses and if you suspect pregnancy then first confirm it with a serum beta hcg test . If the hcg levels are more than 5mIU , then you are surely pregnant, else the menses are likely to be delayed due to possible stress induced hormonal imbalance, during this cycle.
