Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Yes, delay in periods could be because of getting pregnant. To confirm this you just have to do a home pregnancy test (HPT). Pregnancy test detects a hormone called Human Chorion Gonadotropin(HCG) in urine or blood. Pregnancy Kits for Home Pregnancy Test are easily available in market. You should do this test with first urine sample of morning. Follow instructions on pack , morning sample gives more reliable result. In case you are pregnant, one more red line will appear after you add your urine.
If urine test (HPT) is positive, blood test for beta HCG & a transvaginal ultrasound may be used to confirm pregnancy.

Hope this information helps
Good luck
