Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease..
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the chances of pregnancy are ruled out.
I would suggest you to get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
