IT COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS, FIRST AND FORMOST A CHANCE THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT AND THAT YOUR HORMONAL LEVELS ARE NOT READING YET. ANOTHER ISSUE IS OBESITY, OR A LOSS OF TO MUCH BODY FAT. IF YOU ARE VERY ATHLETIC YOU MAY GO THROUGH STAGES WITH OUT A PERIOD, OR A SPOTTING INCIDENCE. IF IT CONTINUES AND YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT AND ARE SURE OF THIS, YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND BE CHECKED OUT. AND IF YOU FIND YOU ARE PREGNANT YOU SHOULD GO TO THE DOCTORS TOO, PRENATAL CARE IS GOOD FOR YOU AND THE BABY.

It could be a number of things. Change in diet, hormone levels, stress, if you're underweight or very lean (the body needs a certain % of fat in order to start menstruating - that's why a lot of professional athletes and women with eating disorders can skip periods). Or depending on your age - the onset of menopause. If you're really concerned contact your doctor...but, don't stress.

alright if you took one of those at home test and it showed neg. then the test could be wrong. wait about a week and if you don't get it then test again. if you still show neg then go to the doctor and have them give you a blood test. but if you are stressed or have been sick then your period may not come for a while. Don't stress try to relax. Don't think about it. Stress is bad for the baby if you are pregnant. good luck.

It could be from stress, if makes your body go through lots of changes.

can mean lots of things. For example, if you're on the pill it is normal for it to be later, but check with your doctor.
