What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

I am 20 years old girl.i and my boyfriend had protected sex on 22 august 2014. My due date for periods was on 8 September 2014. But its been 10 days past the due date,but still no sign of periods. Also after sexual contact I gained UTI. I took 7 days course of antibiotics (polypod o).since the past 4 days I have been taking deviry. My pregnancy test came out negative which I took on 13th Sep 2014. What could be the possible reason for my missed periods. Am I pregnant or its the effect of UTI?

Hi dear and thanks for your query.

There are many other reasons than pregnancy causing delay to missed periods.
The common reasons are:
hormonal imbalances
changing schedules
weight gain or lost gain
excess stress ect
Having UTI and taking antibiotics can cause delay periods.

Be calm and wait for breakthrough bleeding.
