Hello
thanks for your query.
There is one really easy way to know if you are pregnant.
As you are already a week late, please take a home urine pregnancy test tomorrow morning with the first voided urine sample.
If it is negative, there could be other reasons like stress, anxiety, weight gain or weight loss, emotional trauma, frequent travelling, thyroid disorder, polycystic ovaries or uterine pathologies.
IF the test is positive, you would need to consult a gynecologist.
Even if the test is negative, please see a doctor if you do not have your periods within a few days.
Take care.
