Brief Answer:
Appropriate investigations should be done

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal imbalance like hypothyroidism or hyperprolactinemia.
You should get an ultrasound and blood beta hCG levels done to confirm whether any pregnancy is there or not.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
