Hello dear
I understand your concern
Sex just before the day of expected period date and use of condoms does not cause pregnancy.
First go to home pregnancy test to rule out the pregnancy.
Following are the causes of delayed period other than pregnancy: hormonal imbalance, excessive stress, change in dietary habit, ovarian cyst/PCOS, endometriosis and thyroid disorder.
I would suggest to undergo following investigation after consulting the gynecologist: Reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis, USG scan and ovarian follicle study.
Pregnancy can be induced by the progesterone pill for 5-7 days.
Avoid stress, do regular exercise like walking and yoga, eat fruits like papaya, orange and pine apple, drink lots of water.
Hope this may help you
