Brief Answer:
Pregnancy less likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You had sex on day 22 of your cycle which was a less fertile time of your cycle. The chances of pregnancy are less but cannot be ruled out. Now that your periods are delayed you need to do a urine pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant.
In case the urine test is negative then the delay in periods can be due to stress, anxiety, change in the environment and dietary habits, travelling, etc.
In that case do consult your gynecologist and get the hormonal tablets prescribed to have a withdrawal bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
