Hello and welcome to HCM,
Delayed periods can occur due to many reasons.
Pregnancy is the most common cause of amenorrhea.
However, since the pregnancy test is negative, pregnancy is ruled out.
If the inrregular or delayed periods continue for long, you have to get hormonal status done.
Thus, you can monitor your cycles for some more months.
If the periods still remain irregular then probably this is due to hormonal imbalances.
You will need to consult your gynecologist if the cycles still remain irregular.
Thanks and take care
