Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances should be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Delay in the periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbance like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out.
Antibiotics do not effect on the menstrual cycle.
Hormone levels of thyroid and prolactin, and an ultrasound should be done to confirm the diagnosis and further treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
