Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you are having history regular periods and didn't use any contraceptive method (as you didn't mention anything) the chance of pregnancy is there.
Sometimes urine pregnancy test kits can give false positive results. But as all the four tests were negative, we have to consider the result also.
So you better consult gynecologist, go for blood test for pregnancy and ultrasound.
By this the possibility of pregnancy can be ruled out and also the possible cause for your delayed periods like poly cystic ovary disease etc. can also be identified.
If there is no pregnancy, you can take treatment to get withdrawal bleeding according to the cause for it.
