HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
When there is a delay in the period in a sexually active female, pregnancy must first be ruled out. Since your period is 2 weeks late, it would be best to do a home pregnancy test.
These tests can detect pregnancy 11 to 14 days after conception.
If the test is negative then other causes of delayed or irregular period must be considered such as: (1)emotional stress
(2)physical stress or illness
(3) excess physical activity
(4)abnormal levels of thyroid hormone
(5)high levels of a hormone called prolactin
(6)polycystic ovarian syndrome
Your doctor can evaluate for the presence of any of the above if the pregnancy test is negative. It would involve blood tests and imaging.
I hope this helps
