Brief Answer:
No chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety about the issue but there is no risk of pregnancy as there is no egg in female body near periods so no chance of formation of baby.
I would like to know if you had any emergency pill like I pill or unwanted 72 in this cycle?
If not then at times due to change of season or simple work stress or febrile illness can cause this kind of delay.
Just wait for a week and you will soon get your periods.
Take care.
