Brief Answer:
You need hormone tests and pelvic ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Since you already have irregular cycles, this delay in your period is because of that only. Stress ( mental or physical ) can further delay the period. For the irregular cycles, please consult gynecologist for hormone tests and ultrasound to find out the cause so that it can be appropriately treated.
If the pregnancy tests are negative it means that you are not pregnant. Consult your doctor and take progesterone tablets to start your period.
The cervix being low is unlikely. It will not be open . You are mistaking something else for cervix. Please consult Gynecologist. She will examine and explain to you. Don't be stressed.
If you have further concerns, please do write to me.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Since the pregnancy tests are negative in all probability you are not pregnant.
You had protected intercourse. That is another reassuring factor.
When was the last time you had intercourse? A negative blood pregnancy test two weeks from that date confirms 100% that you are not pregnant.

Hope this helps.
If you have any further concerns, do write to me.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama.
