Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion pregnancy is suspected when there is missed period .The other symptoms of pregnancy are nausea,vomitings,breast tenderness and increased frequency of urination.These symptoms start 15 days after missed period.Cramps are not the sign of pregnancy.You can wait for the period still a week or 10 days and if still delayed a urine pregnancy test is done.If the test is negative and still no period then the delay might be due to stress.Stress about pregnancy or anything causes hormonal imbalance and delays period.So relax and stay cool.
