Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

If your cycles are regular, then your periods are delayed by one week this time. The reason for this delay can be stress, hormonal fluctuation etc. From now onwards, maintain a menstrual calendar. If you cycle pattern is not regular, I would suggest that you get yourself examined by gynaecologist.

I hope I have answered your question. Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.
