Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease. Gall bladder surgery do not have any effect on the menstrual cycle.
Birth control pills will not have any effect on the menstrual cycle after six months of stopping.
Since you have negative urine pregnancy test, Pregnancy is ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile and ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
