My period is always due the 24th and always ends on the 29th except in October. My son was born June 19th and I got my first period again on August 24th-29th, September 24th-29th, October 25th-30th, November 24th-29th, December 24th-29th. I have not gotten my period this month and it is the 28th so tomorrow will be five days. I have taken two pregnancy tests one on the 25th and another on the 27th, both have come back negative... Why have I not gotten my period? How can I be 5 days late with negative tests? I am kind of worried, which I heard can prolong your period even longer?

Okay, if you are already 5 days late then a pregnancy test SHOULD be accurate by now. The next time the clinic or your OBGYN is open (if you haven't started yet) you should go in.
Edited to add:
Jennifer, that is called a chemical pregnancy. The egg was fertilized but failed to implant into the uterine lining. It happens more frequently than you would imagine. Most women have had this happen to them several times in their lives.

not long enough..you can even miss a month here and there. Try not to get too stressed out about being 5 days late with negative pregnancy test results!

I was 46 days late with my period. all negatives on the strips. had blood test done. neg too. Just way to stressed lately. Was kinda unnerving for me though, cause the only other time i was late was when I was pregnant with my now 2yr old. Just gotta watch my stress levels and keep on eye on my cycle.
