Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1] Usually if oral contraceptive pills are taken regularly then periods start within 7 days of pill free period.
2]As your urine tests are negative even with 2 weeks delay you are mostly not pregnant.
3] As of now you have to keep watch and wait till onset of periods. The delay in periods can be due to hormonal causes, hormones that are produced by ovaries.
4] I will suggest to get USG done once you are done with periods, to look for ovarian status.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
