Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, or polycystic ovarian disease, or due to stress because of any reason. Sometimes, when one stops birth control pills, the next few periods are irregular. If your urine pregnancy test is negative, pregnancy is ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN to get properly examined, investigated (including hormonal profile) and get treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
