Hi,

I am Dr Nilajkumar and will be helping you in your queries.

The common cause of delayed periods are pregnancy, hormonal imbalances especially thyroid and prolactin and PCOD [ A combination of various hormonal irregularities leading to problems in ovulation and irregular periods], ovarian cysts leading to abnormalities in local hormones and menopause.

Pregnancy test will be positive a week after the missed period. if you have already done the test after a week of the missed period, pregnancy is ruled out.

One or two irregular cycles are due to minor hormonal disturbances and they tend to correct themselves. Regular exercise and weight loss help to control hormone problems. But if the problem persists for longer time it is better to that you see a doctor and get yourself examined.

Thanks once again for the question. Please feel free to post any more queries in the forum.
Regards.
