Hello
Thanks for your query.
If your pregnancy test is negative, you are mostly not pregnant.
Other causes of a missed period are - anxiety, stress, emotional upheavals, hectic and frequent travelling, rapid changes in weight, ingestion of hormonal medications, etc.
Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometrial pathology - all could cause delayed periods too.
Please consult a Gynecologist to know the exact cause of delayed periods and for exact treatment.
Take care.

hello,

First of all, you need to undergo blood test for beta-hcg to confirm your pregnancy.

In exclusion of pregnancy, other reasons are hormonal imbalance, ovarian cyst, over wt/ loss, irregular diet habit, stress/ anxiety, thyroid disturbance etc.

Here, you need to consult with gynecologist for relevant investigation like pelvic ultrasound, hormone assay etc and take suggestive measures accordingly.

All the best.
