Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
No delayed periods should not be due to Low iron content or iron deficancy anemia in you. They could be related to getting pregnant as you are having unprotected sex for nearly a month.
You could also have delayed periods due to menopause possibility as you are 41. Menopause is life event in females life (typically between 40 -50 years) when she stops ovulating & hence her periods stops.
You should do a pregnancy test done to confirm that you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy test could be easily done at home too. Get a pregnancy kit from market. Follow instructions on pack. Presence of 2 lines on test kit after addition of urine means you are pregnant.
Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information help
