Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pregnancy should be suspected in case there is delay in the periods. But since urine pregnancy test was negative and you got periods even though it was late, it states that you were not pregnant.
Delay in periods could be due to other causes like hormonal imbalance or emotional factors like stress and apprehension.
Don't be worried much about it. Relax and keep trying as advised by your doctor. It will happen.
Hope the information provided is clear.
All tue best.
