Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed and irregular periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I will suggest you to get an urine pregnancy test done at home with the first morning sample of urine to confirm the diagnosis.
If negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
