Hello,
You have history of irregular periods. Your menstrual cycle is also irregular. You are sexually active. Presently, you have taken 3 tests and they show negative report for pregnancy. You are also a smoker, Avoid smoking and gradually taper the doses you take. You have not mentioned if you had unprotected sex or whether you are in some type of contraception.
You are suggested to wait for a couple of days, if you miss period, get repeat pregnancy test done with the first morning mid stream urine. Get clinically examined by an OBGYN to detect bulky uterus. You may be recommended to get USG (Uterus with fallopian tubes) done to detect ectopic pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
In case your periods are otherwise regular, the present delay could be due to recent illness, physical or psychological stress. In case it's your habit to get irregular periods. You have to get investigated to rule out generalized weakness, hormonal imbalance (thyroid, ovary or pituitary hormones, ovulation problem (PCOD).
Pregnancy test (HPT) is reliable after 8 days delay in expected date of periods. You are already late by 45 days and test was negative thrice. You should get physically examined by a gynecologist and get needful investigations to find cause of delay and get medicines specific to the cause.
