Hello,
Urinary tract infections do cause delayed periods, nausea and bloating and may mimic early pregnancy. The best way to clarify is to get an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres and if needed, a trans-vaginal sonogram. If negative, your cycles may fall back in rhythm once the infection is cured completely. Also, in early pregnancy, urine tests can be read well only 3-7 days after the missed period and with a fresh early morning sample. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
