Hello dear
Understand your concern
Blood HCG is very accurate to confirm the diagnosis.
It will give positive result with in 7 days of delayed period.
So make sure you have done for HCG 7 days after missed period.

I would suggest to go for USG scan, as it will give visual proof and what happens in the uterus.
Also go for ovarian follicle study, reproductive and thyroid hormone analysis.
Above investigations rule out pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction and ovarian dysfunction.

After stopping duphston bleeding will come in 4-5 days (maximum by 8-10 days).
If period will not come in the absence of pregnancy then high dose of medroxyprogesterone (injection) should be given under the advice of gynecologist.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet and fresh fruits and do regular exercise.
Hope I have answered your question
