Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Its normal that ur periods getting delayed by 3-4 days. If it's more than a week, it might be due to many conditions like pregnancy, stress, low birth weight, obesity, PCOS etc.

I advice you to,
- Do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT.
- Encourage normal activities & YOGA & stress free exercises.
- Take nutritious diet
- Avoid food containing caffeine, alcohol
- Take iron & calcium supplements
- watch for next cycle. If same problem persist consult your gynaecologist for further assistance

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
