writes:My period is 2 days late and I have not had any symptoms that it will come (I usually feel some cramps a week before it starts). I've been having protected sex with my boyfriend and there have been no accidents with the condom. I am not on the pill.I took a pregnancy test today, the kind that you can take 6 days prior to your period being due, and it's negative.For the last 3 weeks I've had major stress due to work and I'm thinking the stress is delaying my period but the fact that it's late is making me stress even more!!Could I still be pregnant? When should I take another test? I am sooo worried!!!

You're fine. Your body is probably just under stress, or sometimes having sex just messes up your cycle, or you're just irregular this month.
You should look into talking the pill if you want to be extra safe.

 You can continue to take the test until the 14 day after your period or when the period comes. Take a test every 3 days until your period shows.
It is probably stress in your case.

 Stress is well known to have many serious effects on the body. The stress can delay your period, give you mid-cycle bleedings, or make the period go away all together. You are by all likelihood not pregnant. But, a missing period can be a symptom of other things as well, so if this continues to happen see your doctor about it.

 I think the only thing that will give you peace of mind is if you have your normal period, or you get a conclusive negative pregnancy test or both.
If you are 2 days late, I would wait another 12 days. If you do not get a normal period within that time, I would go and get a pregnancy blood test from your Doctor. This should give you enough time to have a normal period, but also enough time for a blood test to return positive for pregnancy.
You should also consider starting the contraceptive pill if your intention is to not get pregnant.
