hi,My wife usually has regular periods but this time is delayed by 5 days. She is having weakness and mood swings. She says she is very weak and not as usual. Also, we didn't have active sex last month except once when i pulled out at the climax stage. Is this signs of pregnancy.

Hi,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
* Highest chances of conception are around 14 days prior to expected day of next period, So if you had sex at the specific time & if your wife has regular menstrual cycle-she has chance of conception this time.
If so, it can be confirmed by blood/urine pregnancy test.
* In case the sex was not around risk zone,& pregnancy test is -ve,other causes of such delay in period are-
-Recent illness/weakness/exersion.
- pre menopause,
- hormonal imbalance,
- certain thyroid problems,
- lac of ovulation.( PCOD)
In such a case, I would advice a gynaecologist's advice for physical examination/investigations/specific treatment.
Thanks.
