Late Period, Negative Pregnancy Test

My period is two and a half weeks late! I stopped nursing about 6 months ago and my periods were finally back to normal the previous month. I figured all would be normal this month but I still have not got my period yet. I took a pregnancy test a few days ago and it was negative. We are not trying to get pregnant yet so we have been using condoms as a form of birth control. I have researched other reasons for a late period and none seem to fit. The reasons are stress, weight gain or loss, thyroid problem, and excessive exercise. The only one that is close is that I started running again for 4 days and then quit because I got sick with a cold. I only ran/walked for 30 min. each of those days. I would not call that excessive. What could it be? Have any of you had this issue? Thank you!

So What Happened?™

Thank you so much for your responses! They were all very helpful. My period finally came, yeah! I think my cycles must still be off from finishing breastfeeding or maybe it was just from working out. Weird, oh well. Thanks anyway!

I'd definitely say it's because you recently quit nursing. I don't think I'd say you're back to 'normal' after just one 'normal' cycle! It'll take a little while :)

Pregnancy tests are not fool-proof. It could be a false negative. Try it again!

I had a miscarriage in December, went through the 6 weeks of the menstration type stuff you go through after a pregnancy.

Waiting for the next cycle to start, it never did. Took a pg test, it was negative, next month I was feeling sick, and throwing up. Went to the doctor and took a blood test, and I was pregnant, 13 weeks prenant. So home Pg tests can be tough.

I missed my period for 3 months when I was 19. Nothing wrong, doctors didn't know why, just gave me some Provera and it started again. They said sometimes that happens, women just don't get their periods. Never happened to me since then.
However you have had kids, that hasn't happened to me since I've had kids. (except when I was pregnant!). So not sure if this is helpful. I would just go to your OB.

Best of luck!
