Hello dear
Understand your concern
You should consult the gynecologist as period is delayed by 15 days.
Do not wait for another 10 days. Pregnancy should be confirmed by Blood HCG or by USG scan that is very accurate. Food craving and mild frequent are symptoms of pregnancy.
But also note the other cause of delayed period: change in life style and eating habit, hormonal imbalance, adenomyosis, excessive weight gain/loss, thyroid pathology, ovarian dysfunction/PCOS.
So if pregnancy is not there you should have to check for above cause after proper investigations.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
