Delayed menstruation?

Hi, I want to know why I'm 3 months delayed on my period. I took several pregnancy tests but all results are all negative, I don't have any symptoms that I'm pregnant. I'm stressed, I also don't have enough time to sleep and rest.

Thank you in advance. God bless.

So if this happening frequently need work up if this is the first occurrence could be stress but make sure not early pregnancy do blood test
See a physician. You may have an endocrine problem or ovarian cyst.
What most women are never made aware of: how our ovaries that make both our female hormones and our male hormones are highly influenced by STRESS! COVID-19 stress, emotional stress, physical stress (from sleep deprivation) are all potential reasons why your ovaries aren’t working the way they’re supposed to. The usual menstrual cycle is every 28days and is triggered by the drop in your progesterone level that starts the release of the lining inside your uterus. When you are under stress, you may not ovulate or make your progesterone; so there’s no trigger to tell your uterus when it’s time to bleed. So you can miss the usual timing of when your period should happen; and the longer you miss a period, the thicker a lining can be which can cause heavier bleeds. But if stress shuts your ovaries down, then both of your female hormone levels can drop quite low and your body can give you symptoms like menopause if those levels stay down too long. How do you know which scenario may be yours? You need to ask your doctor to check your hormone levels; only then can you know what your body is doing. I also recommend that you check out my book, Blossoming, Becoming a Woman (on Amazon); it explains how periods should work, it explains symptoms and it has a section about how to talk to your doctor.

But handling your stress is important; take Vitamin B Complex with methyl Vitamin B12 and get your 8hours of sleep at night!
