HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

A pregnancy test would determine if you are pregnant. These tests are accurate if done 11 to 14 after possible conception so if this time has passed then the test can be done.

There are other causes of delayed period such as: (1) emotional stress or illness
(2)thyroid disease
(3)physical illness
(4)high levels of the hormone prolactin
(5)PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
(6)inadequate diet or excess physical activity

If a pregnancy test is done and it is negative then you may need to consider testing for one of these conditions.
This would involve blood tests and an ultrasound

I hope this helps
