various causes of delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism ,hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or due to stress.
I will suggest you to get an urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then get investigated for hormonal disturbances.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
