Brief Answer:
Pregnancy ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

The delay in periods that you have could be due to breast feeding, anxiety or a minor hormonal disturbance. Since all the pregnancy tests are negative, pregnancy is ruled out.

The intermittent sharp pains in the lower left abdomen can be due to an intestinal colic or muscular pain or a urinary infection. In case the pain is persistent then do consult your physician for an evaluation.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
