Hi Mayuri and Welcome to the site! Some places in the world you cannot get opk's....maybe look per the net if you cannot get it per a store. However let me help you out with this on....

What happens is that your body will ovulate and that can happen anytime during your cycle....the best thing to do if you cannot get opk's in your area is to start having sex about starting on 7 days after your period ends and keep on doing that until you have your next period. Along you can watch for cervial mucus that is coming from your body usually ewcm (egg white cervial mucus) starts when you are the most fertile...let me find what you need to look for in cm....

I found this from an earlier post.

Stages of Cervical Fluid: Post Menses

Stage 1: Lasting 2 - 3 days CM is Sticky or Gummy (S)

Stage 2: Lasting 2- 4 days: CM is Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - Beginning of your fertile period (C)

Stage 3: Lasting 1-5 days: Egg white Cervical Fluid - At this time you are very fertile. (E)

Stage 4: Dry, Moist or Sticky (Infertile)

Now keep in mind the reason why your period was late could have been you ovulated later thatnormal....usually if you are super regular you can count back 14 days (given +/- 2 days) when you ovulated...your most fertile time is 4 to 5 days before ovulation, day of ovulation, and day after ovulation....
