Go to the doctor or to the er and have a blood test done. A blood test will show you are pregnant 6 days after conception and is 100% accurate.
The reason why you haven't started your period could be due to stress or if you have been sick lately.
It should be showing up on a test if you are pregnant being 10 days late.
Maybe you should re-test but this time do it using first morning urine.
Can I still be pregnant if the test is negative (have a "false negative")? In a word, yes. You could be testing too early (before your baby is making enough pregnancy hormone to be detected by the test.) And some women (this is fairly rare, but possible) never get a positive urine test even when they're definitely pregnant (for some reason the hormone doesn't make it into their urine.) I have a friend who didn't get a positive HPT until 25 DPO! (With her second baby, a test at 23 DPO was negative . . . but a test on 30 DPO was positive. Oddly enough, with #3, her positive test came at only 12 DPO.) If you get a negative test but think you might be preggo anyway, wait a couple of days (giving the hCG hormone time to build up) and try again. It's not over until the fat lady sings-- and your period crashes the party.
If you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (OPK's, charting cervical mucus or basal temperature, ultrasounds) it becomes extra-tricky. There are two parts to every menstrual cycle: from the start of your period to ovulation, which can vary quite a bit in length, and from ovulation to your next period, which is usually consistent in length. (This second half is known as the "luteal phase," and the normal range is 10-16 days. It's normal for your typical luteal phase to vary by a day or two. For example, mine is normally 11 days, but 10 and 12 are not unheard of either. I have also had a couple of longer ones by total fluke.)
Because ovulation can happen at any time, it's possible your egg was delayed for some reason (stress, illness, travel, excitement.) This doesn't mean your period is actually "late" (it could arrive within the normal 10-16 days after ovulation), but rather than your entire cycle was delayed due to a later-than-usual ovulation

Make an appointment to see your OB/GYN. But in the meantime, relax. I've been there several times and it was delayed due to stress, not pregancy or other illnesses. But you still need to make the appointment and get a clean bill of health from your doctor.
If there are other medical issues going on, you need to find out why and have it addressed for your own good health. Here's a website that provides a bunch of possible causes: http://www.healthline.com/gale.jsp?utm_source=adapt&utm_medium=google&utm_campaign=articles&utm_term=missed+periods&pagenum=1&contentId=gech_0001_0001_0_00037
But try not to stress out until after you see your doctor. Good luck!

There could be several reasons for this, are you feeling stressed out lately? This happens sometimes when your hormones go up and down the scale. Or better yet, have yourself checked by a doctor to have some blood test to be sure that you're not having any endocrine insufficiency

Were they real ones? See a doc. You may need an ultrasound!
If you have little body fat and are a runner or weight lifter that can stop your period!
Periods don't stop for no reason! How old are you?

You need to see your OB/GYN. You could be pregnant and just not that far along. There is also the possiblility of ovarian cysts which are not usually a problem but need to be checked. My guess is that you are pregnant.
