Can Delay In Periods Be Due To Pregnancy?

i am 57 days out from my last menstrual cycle and have taken 6 urine pregnancy tests and one blood test. All have come back negative. Is there still a chance I may be pregnant? I have always used condoms and other forms of protection. I used to be on birth control but after a DVT i was taken off my medication. Could my hormones still be messed up. Also, when i was taken off my medication in feb. I had a period feb. 10th and then another march 16th. I then skipped April and didn't have a period until May 2nd then I had one on June 5th. It is now Aug. 1 and have not had a period.

OBGYN,  's  Response
You have not provided the most important information and that is your age. If you are around your menopausal age, delay in menses can be an indication that your menses are about to vanish because of menopause.
If after 57 days after the last period your pregnancy tests are negative, it is most unlikely that you are pregnant or may be if you are pregnant, the baby is not leaving. Your dilemma will be cleared by ultrasonography.
If ultrasonography shows a non-viable pregnancy, please contact your Obst Physician.
If ultrasonography also reveal that you are not pregnant, then your doubt correct. There could be hormonal imbalance delaying your period. You may require hormonal therapy in such case.
