Your period may not actually be late, as a women's period begins within a range of times. Consider this: your cycle may be regular, but even if it is exactly 28-days between each period, a calendar month is usually 30 or 31 days. Eventually, your period will begin falling on a different calendar date, so you can't use the calendar day to monitor your period.
It is important to track your periods, and know how long each cycle is. "Day 1" counts as the first day of your period, and then count the number of days until your next period. The normal range for women's cycles is 21-35 days.
Your period will most likely start sometime within the week. If your period actually is "late", this is perfectly normal as women's bodies are not machines...they react to the environment and ebb and flow...and any environmental change can also change your period including if you were recently sick, take new medication, had excess stress.
