Hello Lai and welcome.
Some women return a negative result to pregnancy tests even during their 3rd month of pregnancy, so pregnancy will certainly have to be ruled out. But I am guessing you have a history of irregular menstrual cycles, and possibly have even been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries.
Please speak to your doctor about a concrete diagnosis, do not remain in the dark.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
