Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
If there was no actual intercourse or entry of semen in the vagina, then there are absolutely no chances of pregnancy.
She should get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis.
If negative, then she should get her hormonal profile done and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
If delayed due to stress, the periods will come in 2-3 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
