Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or due to stress.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
