Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Stress is a very common cause for irregular periods. The urine pregnancy tests are very much accurate to diagnose pregnancy and if it has come negative then probably you are not pregnant. Try getting down your stress and probably the periods will be again regular.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
