Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
As the pregnancy tests are negative then this delay is just because of physiological delay in periods during perimenopausal transition which is a strong possibility at 42 years of age.
Wait for another week and in case you still don't get your periods take progesterone tablets for withdrawal of periods after consulting a gynecologist aa they are available on prescription.
