What Causes Delayed Periods?

I last had my period on the 4th October. I have not yet come on I ve done four pregnancy tests all came back negative. I ve had quite a bit of discharge over the last few weeks clear and thick. Is there any indication as to what could be wrong. I m also under a lot of stress at the minute.

Hi, 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, and due to stress.
Sometimes the ovulation can be delayed, and hence the conception is delayed, and therefore the urine pregnancy test comes positive a bit delayed.
I would suggest you to repeat your urine pregnancy test after 1 week, and if is still negative, then do consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated( hormonal profile and ultrasound) and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
