Stress is unlikely to delay your period but it can delay ovulation which will lead to a "delayed" period. Stress can be mental stress or physical stress such as traveling, time change of more than a few hours, skipped meals, having the in-laws stay with you, etc. So it's possible that you ovulated later than usual this month.
The other possibility is that you are pregnant but the level of hcg hormone in your blood is so low that it is not detectable by an HPT. Alternatively I have known some people for whom an HPT simply never works. Get a blood pregnancy test if you want to get a definitive answer.

you could be pregnant... you should go to the doctor and have a blood test done.... if you are pregnant and you are putting negative tests that would be because your pregnancy hormonesa are low... and a blood test would give you an accurate answer. This just happened to my neighbor and even the urine tests at the doctors office were negative untill they did a blood test then that came back positive... go to the doctor for the most accurate answer! Good luck!

Often you are not late and it is your cycle that is longer. The pregnancy test should be positive by now unless you are one of the few people who have low levels of the hormone needed to show signs of pregnancy. Often thinking about it can delay your period even although you don't think you are stressed

You could have a cyst which will cause your period to be late. You could be overly stressed too. I would say to to the DR if it doesn't come in a week.

Probably stress, but I think you should go to your dr and get a blood test done. Sometimes you don't produce enough hcg hormone and the pee test doesn't work.

I think you arent pregnant and that you are just late. It seems like you are hoping to be pregnant. Make sure you are ready for that one or if you already have one another one. Whatever the case may be just make sure you are ready for whatever comes.
