UPT negative on 20th March - almost 3 months after intercourse on 27th Dec - means pregnancy is highly unlikely. Homeopathic medicines do not interfere with urine pregnancy test results. Your periods being delayed is likely due to hormonal irregularity, which your homeopathic treatment may also be addressing.
Next Steps
If periods still don't come in the next 1–2 weeks, get a serum beta-hCG blood test done - it is more sensitive than UPT and will give a definitive answer. Also consult your doctor about the period irregularity.
Health Tips
Don't panic - a negative UPT at this stage is reassuring. Period delays can happen due to stress, hormonal imbalance, or thyroid issues. A blood test will give 100% clarity if you're still worried.

I completely understand that delayed periods can cause a lot of anxiety. Let us break down your timeline and answer all your questions so you can stop worrying.
Are home urine tests 100 percent reliable?
While they are not exactly 100 percent perfect, they are highly accurate when you use them at the right time. Since you took the test on March 20, which is almost three months after December 27, your test result is completely reliable. By that time, pregnancy hormones are very high and easily detected by any basic kit.
Can homeopathic medicine cause a false negative?
No, it definitely cannot. Urine pregnancy tests only look for a very specific pregnancy hormone called hCG. Homeopathic medicines do not interfere with this hormone or the testing kit at all, so your medicine did not hide a positive result.
What are the chances of being pregnant?
Based on the dates you shared, the chances of you being pregnant from December 27 are practically zero. Because you got your period the very next day on December 28, your body shed its uterine lining naturally. This makes pregnancy from that specific encounter impossible. Your negative test in March absolutely confirms this.
Is a blood test necessary?
You do not need a blood pregnancy test right now. Your timeline and the negative urine test are more than enough to confidently rule out pregnancy.
Why are your periods delayed?
Since we know you are not pregnant, the delay is likely happening for other common reasons. Things like stress, hormonal imbalances, sudden weight changes, or conditions like PCOS can delay your cycle. It is also possible that your current medicine is taking time to work or might not be the right fit for your body right now.
