Can period be delayed by 10 days?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Periods can get delayed by any number of days. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.

I'm a bit worried and curious about something. I had a beta hCG test done in the 8th week and the result was 0.5 ml. Plus, my ultrasound report from the 6th week looked normal. Is there any possibility of being pregnant with these results? I've done just one beta hCG test this month. Can you help clarify this?
