Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease. If the urine pregnancy test is negative, chances of pregnancy are negligible, however in some cases, the ovulation is delayed and hence the conception is delayed, and therefore the urine pregnancy test comes positive a bit delayed.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile and ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
