Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Yes delay in periods could be due to pregnancy. Pregnancy symptoms ( morning sickness, nausea, breast tenderness, etc) can be absent in some cases & could take weeks of pregnancy to start.
Delay in periods could also be due to some hormonal disturbance, so you should first ruleout pregnancy possibility.
Now your periods are delayed by more than 2 weeks & you should do a Home pregnancy test by using first morning urine sample.

Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
