Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Urinary test sometimes gets negative test. You should repeat after 7-10 days.
Or you can do blood HCG level or USG abddomen

Following are the reason for late periods:
1. High level of stress
2. Change in life style
3. Late ovulation
4. Excessive exercise
5. Drugs: Birth control pills, tyroid medication, Excessive tea and caffeine
6. Thyroid problem
7. Hormonal imbalane

Increased appetite may be due to increased activity.
Sleepiness maay be due to fatigue.

For pain: Take tablet Meftal Spas Two times a day for 3-4 days.
Do regular walking and exercise.
Eat healthy diet
Take rest
Drink plenty of water
Also note that
Menstruation required co ordinate action of various hormone that secreted by ovary (estrogen and progesterone) and brain (FSH and LH).
If any above hormone is decreased or increased there is imbalance in menstruation.
So please do full hormonal profile : Estrogen, progestron, LH, FSH, HCG and thyroid hormone.
That help to diagnose hormonal imbalance.
After confirmation you can take treatment according So please go ahead.

Hope this may help you
All the best.
Stay healthy.
