Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Menstrual pattern can under fluctuation depending on many things.
As your periods got delayed, endometrium might have over grown and that may be responsible for your excessive bleeding.
If the bleeding continues for longer period better to consult gynecologist and get examined.
You may need one ultrasound.
Depending on the findings the possible cause can be made out and treatment can be given.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Since pregnancy test is negative and your tubes are tied, less likely you are pregnant.
Your symptom suggest , you have menorrhagia.
I recommend you to get a USG abdomen and pelvis done to rule out fibroids.
Treatment depends on the diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
