Jen,

With negative pregnancy tests, but no period yet, I would consider first waiting another week to test again, and if you still don't have your period by then, calling your doctor's office and going in for a blood test, which is the most reliable.

It's possible to simply skip a period, depending on your levels of stress and whether there is a lot going on in your life -- travel, changes in medicine or diet or exercise, etc. But if your period doesn't show up in another week, just make a quick trip to the doctor's office to make sure. Will you do that?

Jen,

Do you exercise regularly? That is one of the best ways ever of keeping stress from hurting your body. Anything from cardio to strength training to yoga, as long as you do it regularly, will help.

How is your diet? Do you get good protein, fruits and veggies? Or is your diet more carb-based? Do you drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol? Do you smoke?

Deep breathing does help when you are about to lose your temper. You should try to breathe from your diaphragm -- in other words, breathing so you can see your stomach rise and fall -- and take slow, deep, cleansing breaths.

Has anger always been a problem for you? Or is there something recently that has made things more stressful than usual?

Jen03,

Hormones are what control our body cycles and our menstrual periods, and stress can interfere with those hormones. So yes, it's possible that if you have had an extra busy, stressful month, that could be an explanation for your late/missed period.

Are you usually very regular? Because it's just not that unusual for women to sometimes go quite late or even miss a period for no reason that they can figure out.

If I were you, I would test again this week, and if it is still negative, I would call the doctor's office and ask to come in for a pregnancy test. Their blood tests are much more accurate than the home tests. That will let you know for sure and clear your mind one way or the other. Will you do that?
