Unanswerable: Unfortunately you included nothing about your daughter's sexual or menstrual history on which to give you any kind of valid answer. But, in the world we live in today that does not matter. We live in a world where nearly every store close to your daughter sells home pregnancy tests. Having a period two weeks late means she can get tested today and know the answer to your question.

Impossible to say: A pregnancy test - either at home or at a doctors/clinic - is the only way to know. Being 20 would not play a role. Having unprotected sex at the right time during her ovulation cycle would be the important factor. Do a test - decide how to deal with the answer. There are other causes of being late, but you are right to consider this as a possibility.

Take a test: If she is having sex without birth control or condoms then it is certainly possible. Take a test and find out.
