So far, my AF hasn't arrived yet. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. I haven't been under any stress lately. I'm on semester break and enjoying my life. So besides stress and pregnancy, what could cause you to have a delayed period?
BTW, last week I felt cramps and I kept thinking it was my period, but it never came.

It is very difficult to say whether you are pregnant or not until we know whether you had sex after your last periods. ... ?? .. I'm not joking...!!

Suffering from irregular periods or missing a period is a fairly clear indication that your cycles have become imbalanced. There are a variety of reasons for this and also many ways to address the imbalance. Many women are unconcerned about having irregular cycles until they begin trying for a baby, but other women find it very difficult to plan without knowing when their periods could appear. If you suffer from irregular periods, you simply will not know when your period is going to appear. Cycles can vary from 23 to 35 days, but they are classed as regular if your periods occur at roughly the same time each cycle. So, even if your periods are, say, 35 days apart instead of the usual 28, but they always appear at day 35, they would be classified as being 'normal'. Irregular periods can be extremely difficult or even impossible to track.
The natural approach is designed to encourage your body to re-establish regular ovulation and to get your hormones back in balance. Given the right tools, your body has the remarkable ability to balance itself. The supplements outlined below are designed to ensure that you are well nourished - in other words, your body has all the nutrients it needs.

i have "skipped" a period once or twice in 20 years of otherwise regular cycles.
hormonal imballances, stressors, chemical changes... there can be a quite a few things that you're not even aware of...
and stress doesn't always come in negative forms...
you said you're on your semester break... have you been looking forward to it? waiting for it? making plans, traveling...
all of that is stress. just because it doesn't freak you out, that doesn't necessarily mean that it has no effect on your body.
if all else fails to soothe you and you still feel worried, see a doctor...
expecially if you "skip" another month.
pregnancy tests have given false answers before (both positives and negatives)... and there are women in the world whose pregnancies can only be detected by blood test. i've known only one such woman in my life. they're statistically rare, but they do exist...
if you're still in your late teens or early twenties, your body may be altering it's own cycle. there are other women (again, statistically rare) who have very irregular periods. only having 2 or 3 periods a year and in some cases needing medical supervision during those periods due to a risk of rupture or "bleeding out". for quite a few of such women, chemical regulation is possible with use of birth control pills. the same hormones used to stop pregnancy can be used to control the build up and release of the uterin lining in irregular cycles.

Besides pregnancy and stress, hormone imbalances can cause a woman to have irregular periods. I would recommend talking to your dr to be on the safe side.
