Hello,

If you are sexually active and had unprotected Intercourse recently then we should first rule out pregnancy for your delayed periods.
So get done urinary pregnancy test first. If this is negative then possibility of hormonal imbalance is more likely. So get done detailed hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance. You may need hormone pills to regulate hormones. Once your hormones are normalize, you will be alright.

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

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
