For pregnancy to occur, actual sexual intercourse must happen. Acts like dry humping and dry sex cannot cause a pregnancy. With dry humping, there is no exchange of bodily fluids which would cause pregnancy.
That's good you took a pregnancy test because that's really the only way to know if you are pregnant or not. Both were negative, and the fact that you engaged in dry sex should help ease fears that you are not pregnant. Sometimes high stress can affect our menstrual cycles and delay our periods. Try some anti-stress techniques like deep breathing and yoga
