What Causes Delayed Periods?
I have a very regular period, 26 day cycle. Ive only had a late period once and it was due to a lack of sleep because I was sick. My period is now 3 days late & I keep getting negative pregnancy urine tests. Should I keep testing or go to the doctor ? I haven t had any of my normal period symptoms either and nothing in my daily life has changed.

Hello,
Delayed menstruation can be related to stress and other physiological changes sometimes. It is normal to have periods delayed by couple of days. I would suggest you wait for few days and then take another pregnancy test if that comes negative. After that visit a gynecologist regarding the same. She will guide you with further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
