Hi & Welcome.
An serum beta hCG level of less than 5 mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy & anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy.
Apart from pregnancy certain other conditions like hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, stress, change in dietary habits, certain hormonal disorders like hypothyroidism, diseases of the ovaries or uterus can also delayed the periods.
Consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and certain lab tests to rule out the above mentioned conditions followed by the treatment accordingly.
Hope this answers your query.
