Brief Answer:
Wait for a week

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out.
I will suggest her to wait for a week, if periods do not come till that time, then she should consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined and investigated, and further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Cause of delayed periods should be ascertained

Hi dear, you can wait for the next periods.
However, the cause of delayed periods should be ascertained by hormonal profile and ultrasound.
