hi,
Thank you fo rthe query. I understand your concern.
If so much delayed periods are only thistime it could be-
- Illness / physical or psychological stress/severe weakness( anemia)
- Hormonal imbalance due to thyroid or ovarian problem, PCOD.
-Unprotecte sex causing pregnancy.
* You should get your home pregnancy test done if you had history of unprotected sex. + ve test indicates pregnancy& - ve test indicates other causes ( as narrated above )
- You should wait for the period for a - ve test / see a gynecologist for needful investigations she advises after examining you .. followed by specific treatment.
-In case of + ve test you again need angynecologist consultation .
Thanks.
