Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the 2 nd january comes under safe period provided your cycles are regular.So the chance of pregnancy is less.The pregnancy can be confirmed by doing a urine pregnancy test.This test is done after a week of missed periods for accurate results.So if at all there is delay in period consider doing the urine pregnancy test.If the test is negative wait for a week or 10 days for spontaneous onset of period.If still no period even then consult gynaecolgist.Nothing to worry.Sometimes stress regarding the thought of pregnancy or any other also delays the period.So relax and check for the period.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
