Hello dear
Understand your concern
Yes delayed period and food cravings are presumptive diagnosis of pregnancy.
Delayed period for one month is definitely symptoms of pregnancy. You should go to confirm pregnancy by urine pregnancy kit. Better diagnosis should be made by blood HCG and USG scan.
Other symptoms of early pregnancy are: breast soreness and engorgement, change in nipple and areola colour, increased size of areola.
So delayed period should be confirm the by pregnancy test to diagnose pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
