It's essential to consult with a doctor if you've experienced a cessation in your menstrual cycle and have received a negative result on a pregnancy test.

Your period can be delayed, missed, or different from usual for various reasons. The most frequent culprits are:

• Pregnancy – If you've engaged in recent sexual activity, contraceptive methods might not have been effective.
  
  
• Contraception – Certain forms of contraception can lead to irregular or absent periods.
  
  
• Stress – Excessive stress can impact your physical health, including your menstrual cycle, causing irregular periods.
  
  
• Overweight – Being overweight or obese can disrupt hormonal balance and delay or halt your menstrual cycle due to excessive estrogen production.
  
  
• Underweight – Severe calorie restriction or intense exercise can lead to hormonal imbalances affecting your menstrual cycle.
  
  
• Menopause – Cessation of periods is a natural aspect of menopause and could be an early indicator. Menopause typically begins around age 45.
  
  
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Affecting about 1 in 10 women, this condition inhibits the release of eggs from the ovaries.
