Hi, Chicago. Welcome to EmpowHer! And thank you for your question.
It sounds like you have been really irregular lately. Are you under a lot of stress? Have you had a big change in your life, or have you had any changes in your medicines, your diet or your level of activity? All those things can affect our cycles, and it sounds like yours has been all over the place recently.
So let's focus on the numbers.
April 30 - period (20 days late)
May 25 - period (26-day cycle)
July 5 - period late (it is now 42 days since last period)
I have two answers for you, and in this case I just can't tell you which one is right.
Answer one: Yes, you could be pregnant. If you had unprotected sex since your period May 25, and you're more than a week late, the chance definitely exists. And not everyone has symptoms right away.
Answer two: It's quite possible you're not pregnant but that you're just going very late again. Since you went 20 days late just a couple of months ago, it's quite possible that you are having some hormone fluctuations due to something that's going on in your life.
The only way to tell for sure is to get a home pregnancy test and find out. Have you tried doing that yet?
Are you hoping to be pregnant, or hoping not to be? Are you using birth control?
