Brief Answer:
A serum beta-HCG test needs to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

You can go for a blood beta-HCG test for confirmation. A urine test may not be accurate every time.

If the periods are delayed despite negative brtaHCG test, other causes must be ruled out, You should go for a thyroid function test (TFT) as thyroid hormone dysfunction can be a possible cause for delayed menstruation and other menstrual irregularities. Ultrasound abdomen is required to rule out conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks
