Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As your cycle length varies from 30 to 40 days, this delay could be normal for you.
And yes, ultrasound may not detect very early pregnancy.
So you better go for blood test for pregnancy, which can give accurate result in early pregnancy compared with urine test.
If the test comes positive, you consult gynecologist and take tablets for medical abortion.
If the test comes negative, you wait for one more week. Possibly by that time you may get your periods. If not you can take duphaston tablets for withdrawal bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.

Hi,
Sometimes the blood test for pregnancy can show false negatives due to different reasons.
But this may not repeat all the time.
As you are anxious about the delay in periods, better to go for the test.
If you don't want, wait for one more week, possibly by that time you will get periods.
If you do not get periods even by that time, go for repeat ultrasound. This time ultrasound can pickup the signs of pregnancy if pregnancy is there.
After excluding the pregnancy you can go for withdrawal bleeding.
