Delayed period
I'm on a diet to reduce weight, and I missed my period date when I consulted my family doctor she til that its normal for period to be delayed by a week or one and half week. During this time I had sex 4 days ago with my bf we used condoms. But still we are worried since my period hasn't started its late by 9-10 days. Is it normal or when should I take a pregnancy test, I'm 20 please suggest

If you have already delayed your periods you can do a urine pregnancy test right now to rule out pregnancy ..dieting also can cause delayed periods but since you have been sexually active the first test to be done is a pregnancy test
