Brief Answer:
No chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Ho,

I understand your concerns about missed periods.

Missed periods are different from delayed periods. If you had your periods on 23/9 delayed by 7 days, it is likely that you were never pregnant and there is no need to worry about pregnancy.

I don't see any chances of pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
Serum beta hCG blood test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for clarifying.

You can get serum beta hCG blood test done to identify if you are pregnant. This test is very accurate in identifying pregnancy.

If you are not pregnant by this test, you can safely consider that this is delayed periods and wait for periods.
