Hi,
If you have been having 28-30 day cycles prior to this, you were in the safe period when you had the intercourse and as such, the chances of pregnancy are less. Any drastic change in the body like sudden weight disturbance, stress, infection and trauma can cause a delayed period. You can test for pregnancy with a fresh early morning sample of urine and go for a trans-vaginal sonogram for better confirmation. Good luck.
