Hello,
The urine pregnancy test comes positive by 10-14 days post conception. I suggest you take a blood test for beta HCG and pelvic ultrasound.
In case there is no evidence of pregnancy on all these tests, then you need to consult your gynecologist to investigate for cause of delayed periods.
Hormonal imbalance, anemia, stress are some of the causes of delayed periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
