Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
It is normal to have delayed period sometimes and it can happen even in ladies with history of regular period.
Don't worry about this.
You was not pregnant so HCG test was negative.
There may be false feeling of pregnancy in ladies and this condition is called as peudocyesis.Probably it is psychologically associated. Ladies have many symptoms of pregnancy without foetus in womb.
