What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

i am trying to conceive. my period was due any time in the last 3 days. it did feel like it was coming, and stil does. however, as much as i want to believe that maybe i could be pregnant....i feel that what is more likely to be the case is that i am actually just delaying the period through stressing and thinking about it all the time. There was a tiny sign of pinky brown mucus 3 days ago. That is what i am used to on the run up to my period. There has been nothing since though. My mucus is white/clear now. Can you help

Hi,

Do a urine pregnancy test. It will clear all your doubts. And a delay of upto 7 days or menses early by 7 days need not be a concern. It is considered normal variation.
So, you get a positive pregnancy test and an ultrasound is the urine pregnancy test is positive.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
