Hello dear
Understand your concern
Occasionally delay in period by 3-4 days is normal. But if period is delayed by the 8-10 days from the normal expected period date then you have to go for pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy. You can also go for Blood HCG as it is accurate to diagnose the pregnancy.
I think abdominal pain is due to the premenstrual symptoms and your period will come in few days.
Following are the causes of delayed period other than pregnancy:
excessive stress, change in dietary and life style, hormonal imbalance, ovarian cyst/PCOS and thyroid disorder.
So if period will not come by 10-12 days then consult the gynecologist and go for reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis, ovarian follicle study and USG scan.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet and fresh fruits like papaya, orange and pineapple, drink plenty of waters.
In absence of pregnancy, period can be induced by giving progesterone tablet/injection.
Hope this may help you
