General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If your period is delayed, then it is possible that you are pregnant.
This can be confirmed by a home pregnancy.

You should make sure that you do not do the test too early. Pregnancy tests detect HCG, this can normally be found by day 11 to 14 after possible conception.

Wishing you the best
