Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Delayed period should not worry you. Let the period come when it wants. It is not a good idea to take medicines to get a period.
Negative pregnancy test of course does not rule out pregnancy completely but only shows that the pregnancy is not of the duration which can be picked up by the particular test.
Periods can be delayed by stressful situations, hormonal imbalance etc. At your age you should be more worried of heavy flow than no periods.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You consult gynaec to find out not having period.
He will go for ultra sound and other hormonal test.
After all reports he will guide and go for treatment.

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Have you gained weight recently? Is this the first time which has happened to you? You should be getting yourself examined by a Gynecologist so that she can examine you thoroughly and run few test including blood work up and Ultrasound scan to rule out if you have PCOS or Hypothyroidism as they are known to cause delayed periods. If confirmed the treatment will depend upon the cause. Eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Avoid stress and maintain a Healthy weight. Stick to your treatment plan and go for regular follow up.

Wish you Good Health, Take Care.
