Hi,
Delayed scanty period is suggedtive of pregnancy/hormonal imbalance. Please get your urine tested for pregnancy.
If the test is -ve you need investigations ( thyroid assay, usg for testing ovarian cyst or pcod)to find type of imbalance followed by specific treatment.
Consult a gynecologist
Thanks.
