Brief Answer:
Wait for 7-10 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out for now.
She should wait for 7-10 days for the periods.
If still not there, then repeat the urine pregnancy test done.
If negative, then get the thyroid and prolactin levels done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
