I understand your concern.



A negative blood test essentially rules out pregnancy, it is quite reliable.



Please get a pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan done too - it would rule out any pathology in the uterus or ovaries.



Stress, exercise, travelling, late nights, weight changes, hormonal medications, alcohol, smoking - lots of factors can result in menstrual delay.



You should also get hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone, to rule out factors like hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarian disease.



All the best
