there are four hormones which act in conjunction to get periods. if the pregnancy test is negative there is nothing to worry. if it happens on and off then u can seek the help of a gynaec.otherwise such conditions are self limiting

For how long your cycle is delayed, if its too long then get an ultrasound done and consult gyne. Do you have a history of delayed cycles, if so you might be having hormonal imbalance.

Birth control pills just mask your hormone imbalance while you are on it. They have potential side effects. Once you come off them without doing anything to heal the body, body goes into a deeper hormone imbalance. If you really want to know and heal the root cause of this issue, please read my blogs on Prato health feed or www.truhealing.com. Hope that helps
