Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I would suggest you to repeat your urine pregnancy test after one week, if still negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
