Is Delayed Menstruation A Sign Of Pregnancy?

I had sex with my fiancee on17 October,2015,a day before my menses could start on 18th October, 2015. I experienced delayed menses on 21st October,2015. But for this month November, 2015 there seem to be nothing yet. What could be the cause to this delay? Am 21 yes old.
Thanks

Hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
Though the common cause of delayed periods is pregnancy, specially n child bearing age.. You had delayed menses after the sex in question & also sex was just 1 day priar to menses.. so there was no possibility of pregnancy that it.
You had no period till the date in following month ( November )too & it can be due to-
- Pregnancy ( if you had sex in the cycle- to be excluded by home pregnancy test.
- Severe weakness/ anemia
- excessive physical or psychological stress
- Hormonal imbalance like in PCOD/ thyroid problem/ ovarian problem.
These conditions can be investigated by pregnancy test/USG lower abdomen/ hormonal assay,/thyroid function test./ CBC... followed by specific treatment.
Thanks.
