Hi! thanks for writing to us!

As per your description and sexual history I would like to comment that there is NO chance of pregnancy as you have had period after 19 th December (physical relation); however, delay of periods by up to 15 days could be seen in few circumstances like inter-current illness, hormonal problems like thyroid hormones, prolactin and polycystic ovaries etc...

Therefore please wait for 7 days more and if bleeding do not occur, please see a gynecologist for ultrasound of lower abdomen to determine the cause..!

regards!
