Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances in the body like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or due to stress. Depo provera can also lead to irregular menstrual cycle for few cycles after its discontinuation.Negative urine pregnancy test rules out any pregnancy.
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.
