Hi. It may be possible that you didn't get your periods due to stress or strenuous exercise,but sometimes taking birth control pills and leaving them also causes delay in conception for 6 months or so. So, the test being negative. But if you don't get your periods by a week or so you may get your scan done and take medicine for withdrawl.
Thanks.
