Hi,

* Delayed periods are due to various causes like physical or psychological stress, weakness, post severe illness, hormonal imbalance, uterine problems etc.

* Home pregnancy test is reliable when done after 8 days delay in periods.

* When pregnancy is excluded other conditions need to be evaluated by physical examination &investigations as indicated.

* Please consult a gynecologist for more specific advice.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
