HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different causes of delayed period including pregnancy so if you are sexually active, this should be ruled out.

Other causes of delayed period are: (1) emotional stress or illness
(2)polycystic ovarian syndrome
(3)high prolactin hormone levels
(4)perimenopause
(5)abnormal thyroid hormone
(6)side effect of medication
(7)physical illness

If you are currently under stress, this can be a cause and you can monitor.

Blood tests for various hormones and imaging of the uterus/ovaries can determine if any of these are present.

I hope this helps
