Hi,

Yours delayed period could be due to pregnancy and hormonal imbalance. Urine pregnancy test will give positive results once your period will delay by more than 7 days. It should be done with overnight early morning urine concentrated sample. It may give false negative result with diluted urine sample.

You can also go for blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy. It is more accurate and detect pregnancy earlier than urine pregnancy test. In absence of pregnancy, delayed period could be due to hormonal imbalance. Avoid stress, take healthy diet and drink plenty of water.

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

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
