Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. since UPT is negative so it is best to seek suggestion to know why you have missed your periods [since it can be upsetting and confusing when your period is late and there are no positive signs of pregnancy], a Gynecologist would be ideal to consult, for appropriate examination/investigations.

2. stress which disrupts the ovulation causes your body to secrete more cortisol which delays or stops ovulation altogether causing irregular periods
and also, a diet low in fiber and high in saturated fats can cause irregular periods, likewise low thyroid [hypothyroidism] can also cause the same, so check with your Doctor.

PS. suffering from PCOD and having a high level of hormone prolactin can also delay period.
