Welcome to EmpowHer, Andy, and thanks for your question!
From what you say, I might guess that you are not pregnant, simply because pregnancy tests are very accurate these days, and while drinking lots and lots of water might dilute the amount of HGC (the pregnancy hormone) in your urine, I would think that all of the home pregnancy tests on the market are very reliable by the time you're five days past your period due date.
I would guess, from what you say, that you're just pretty late this month, partly due to your busy life and (maybe) stress?
Let's work the dates a little bit more. You don't say how long your cycles are. But let's say they are 28 days long. If your last period began 4/12, your most fertile days -- the days around when you ovulated -- would have been 4/22 to 5/02. If your periods are usually 30 days apart, your most fertile days would have been 4/24 to 5/04. So since you had unprotected sex at the end of April you were definitely in your most fertile time.
When did you take your pregnancy tests? If I were you, I might stop drinking water one evening around 6 or 7, and then take another home pregnancy test with your first morning urine. If that one comes up negative, you might be more sure. (Especially since you have no early signs.)
Please be sure to come back and update us, especially if we can be of any more help to you.
