My last period was on oct 13th. My husband and I had sex on the 20th and 28th. He wore a concom with spermicidal lubricant on it and did not ejaculate inside me. I am on a 33 day cycle so I was supposed to get my next period on nov 15th. I ovulated normally and was PMSing. Nov 15th came around and still no period. I took h.p.t.'s (EPT digital and Clear Blue digital) on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th days of my missed period. They all came up negative. I have been under alot of stress lately with family and work, and went back to work where I work with all females in september after taking off from may-sept. I know all that can effect my cycle, but isn't 12 days a long time to be late. Am I just worring about nothing here or is there something to be worried about?

No, it's not too long. And no, there is likely nothing to worry about. Cycles can be disrupted by stress, illness, upset, and for no particular reason you can identify. If all the tests were negative, you can be fairly certain you are not pregnant, and are just late. It is not unheard of for a woman to skip a month, in the right circumstances. If you just went back to work in September, it may simply be a delayed reaction to that change and the stress probably isn't helping matters either. It is also not unusual for a group of women working or living around one another to synchronize cycles, to within a few days of one another. It's a documented phenomenon without explaination, although it usually takes a few months for it to happen. If you don't get a period next month, then it might be a good idea to pay a visit to the Gyn and have it all checked out. Sometimes you just have a hormone hiccup, without there being anything wrong physically. Of course, the holidays are coming now, and that might not be a great help either. Meantime, tough as the advice is, try to find ways to de-stress and relax. Try not to stress if the monthly visitor doesn't arrive as you expected, and when things are the least convenient it most likely will. It usually works out that way.

No it is a known fact that if at least 10 days go by then your period is changing its cycle. If not then see a doctor soon.
