Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Though the chance is less we cannot completely rule out possibility.
As some women can have bleeding on their expected dates of periods even in pregnancy also.
So you consult gynecologist and undergo physical examination and ultrasound which will possibly rule out pregnancy and also the cause for your delayed periods can be made out and treatment can be given accordingly.
Take care.
