Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances.
I will suggest you to get your urine pregnancy test done.
If negative, then you should get your thyroid hormone levels, prolactin levels and ultrasound done to confirm the cause of delayed periods and get appropriate treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
