Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Delayed period of three days may be normal. You should worry when it is missed by 10 days. According to your history you had intercourse in safe period before 3 months and followed by period in next months so there is no chance of pregnancy. Following are the causes of delayed period: change in life style, change in dietary habit, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problem, ovarian dysfunction and excessive stress. So if period will not come you should consult the gynecologist and rule out the above causes by proper investigations.
Meanwhile start stretching and relaxation exercise, proper rest, avoid stress, take fruits like papaya, orange, pine apple.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
