Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you have had regular periods till now and this is the first time that your periods are overdue then pregnancy is likely. If the urine test has come negative then you can be doubly sure by getting a blood test done for pregnancy which is more confirmatory.
If it comes negative then a hormonal imbalance is likely which can be taken care of by proper medicines under the guidance of your gynecologist.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
