8 Days Late on Period – Negative Test but High Anxiety. Need Advice.

Hi everyone, I’m feeling extremely stressed and could use some reassurance or advice.

The Situation: I had sex about 2-3 days before my expected ovulation. He pulled out well before ejaculation (no semen inside).

The Delay: My period is now 8 days late. Last month it was also 5 days late, but before that, it was always regular.

Symptoms: I’ve been having cramps, pimples, breast tenderness, and back/leg pain. I’ve also been experiencing frequent bowel movements and stomach discomfort.

Testing: I took a home pregnancy test on the 7th day of the delay, and it was Negative.

Stress Level: I have been crying and unable to sleep because I’m so scared. The stress has been constant since the day we had sex.

Is it possible that this extreme stress is pushing my period back even further? Since the test was negative at 7 days late, should I trust it? Any advice on how to handle this anxiety would be appreciated.
