Hi ,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
The first diagnosis of delayed period is pregnancy. Please repeat pregnancy test after a week.
If pregnancy test is -ve again the delay can be due to Hormonal imbalance due to ovarian or thyroid problem / pcod... an ovulation problem causing irregular period/fibroid uterus .
Hormonal assessment/usg abdomen would pin point the cause.
Thanks.
