Hello there.

You cannot be pregnant since your urine tests are negative.

The reason for delay and then light bleeding could be breast feeding.

The severity with which breast feeding affects menses depends on the frequency of feeds you give.

If your frequency of breast feeds have reduced recently then it would reduce the hormonal suppression responsible for no periods during breast feeding.
This explains why you had a light period now after months of amenorrhea (no periods).

Take care.
