Even if you have very regular cycles, you can occassionally have a wonky cycle.
It's likely that late ovulation is causing the delay in your period. If you ovulated later than normal, your period would automatically be later. That's not to say that you couldn't have conceived. If you ovulated later and conceived, you could still be pregnant but it would be too early for an accurate result on an HPT.
Another possibility is that you still haven't ovulated. You generally won't get your period until you ovulate and have your usual luteal phase (time between ovulation and the next period...usually 12-16 days). In that case, your period would appear to be greatly delayed even though you weren't pregnant.
A rare cause of delayed period is a corpus luteum cyst. The progesterone produced by the corpus luteum (what the egg follicle becomes after ovulation) keeps you from shedding your uterine lining and having your period.
I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

you certainly could still be pregnant. I was 5 days late before my test came back positive. The reason is that the hormone that is produced when you are pregnant does not show up until the embryo attaches to the uterine wall. This hormone will then double ever 48 hours. Most EPT tests won't show a positive result until you have enough of that hormone in your system. Check again in 48 hours!

in 1983 my tests came back neg even from the doc til i was almost 5 mos preg.
If you have changed your sleeping patern around or been under stress you could experience having late flows.

I think you are testing too early. Look on the boxes of the tests in the store and see which one has the earliest prediction. Use it when it says to, no earlier.
