Delayed Periods. Breast Swelling. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi Doctors, my period delayed 7 days. I haven't late for my period previously. My period cycle is 28 days. Usually I will face period pain when it almost come but this time nothing happen, only my breast swelled. I haven't test for pregnancy because I'm not sure if this is the correct time to test. I have ate pineapple and took carbonate drink (coke) but I'm still not period. Am I pregnant? Should I do pregnancy test myself or go for doctor?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Your period is delayed by 1 week, if you are sexually active then you should check by urine pregnancy test.
Usually 10 days after ovulation or when you miss your period is correct time to check for pregnancy.
If it is positive then consult Gynecologist for further guidance and treatment, if it is negative then your doctor may go for blood test Beta HCG level and ultrasound of abdomen or transvaginal to exclude pregnancy.
Other causes of delayed period are severe stress, hormonal imbalance, if you have taken any drugs especially hormonal.
Wish you Good Luck.
Take care.
