Hi
Nutritional deficiencies can cause absent or delayed periods. Dieting, Severe exercise,excess weight loss and sometimes long travel may be the cause.
Since your pregnancy tests are negative,you can consult with your doctor and start taking nor-ethisterone to resume periods.It is usually taken 2 or 3 times a day for 5 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
