Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
At this point, you can trust the pregnancy test results. Periods can have a missed or irregular period, without being pregnant. The most common cause is hormonal imbalances due to stress, or change in exercise, eating or sleeping habits. Medication can sometimes disrupt your period as well.
Danger signs to watch for include, prolonged, frequent and/or very heavy bleeding. Also watch for severe cramping or other severe PMS symptoms without bleeding.
Most doctors recommend using birth control pills to regulate your period. However, this is not necessary unless you are experiencing the danger signs I mentioned above.
If you wish you have a regular period however, speech with you gynecologist.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article that talks more about reasons your period is later.
