Brief Answer:
Negative pregnancy test rules out pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,thanks for the information.I understand your concern.
It is good to know that the cycles are regular and height and weight are appropriate.
In my opinion usually the urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.But as the test was negative even after 10 days of missed period there is no chance of pregnancy.
But as the test is negative the spotting which occurred in first week of September might be considered as the period but it is lighter than usual.
This first time lighter period might be due to hormonal imbalance to stress or anxiety related to pregnancy.
There is no chance of pregnancy with negative urine pregnancy test.
The causes of delayed period with negative urine pregnancy test are PCOD,thyroid abnormalities etc.So they need to be evaluated if the irregular cycles continue.
They present with irregular periods,any weight changes etc.
Practice regular intercourse to increase the chances of conception.
Avoid stress if any.Nothing to worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.

Brief Answer:
Avoid stress
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion if the next period is normal then you need not consult the doctor.
You need to consult if one of the following occurs:-
1)If the next period is missed.
2)If the next period also shows just spotting.
3)If any irregular bleeding or spotting occurs in between.
Anxiety regarding conception might also lead to missed period with negative pregnancy test.
So the abnormal period might be due to anxiety or stress induced hormonal imbalance.
It can be a coincidence too.
So relax.Avoid anxiety and stress.Practice regular intercourse to increase the pregnancy chances.

Brief Answer:
If irregularity continues then it is to be treated
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion yes if the next period comes normally then there is no need of treatment.
If irregularity repeats then it needs to be investigated.
Because this type of scenarios are quite common initially while planning for pregnancy due to anxiety and expectations.
