Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Looking at your history, you are unlikely to be pregnant.

This is possibly just delayed periods.

I don't see any reason to worry.

If you need clarification, please do home pregnancy test and check if it shows pregnancy.

Irregular Menstrual cycle could be due to :
