Hello dear
I understand your concern
If you are 100 % sure about protected sex then pregnancy is not possible.
But still for safer side, go for urinary pregnancy kit and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
In absence of pregnancy following are the causes of delayed period:
Hormonal imbalance, excessive stress, thyroid dysfunction, ovarian cyst/PCOS and endometriosis.
Above causes should be rule out by consulting the gynecologist after proper investigation like reproductive hormone, USG scan and ovarian follicle study.
Period can be induce by progesterone pill/injection after getting opinion from the gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
