Hi,
Stress over exams, or anything else, and anxiety or worry that you might be pregnant can cause a period to be late. It sounds like you and your boyfriend were careful while having sex. Your history of having very long intervals between periods certainly makes it difficult to know when you can expect a period. Try to relax and repeat a home pregnancy test as you plan. I can only suggest, that if that test is negative and you still have not gotten your period, you make an appointment with your gynecologist or visit a health clinic. A blood pregnancy can be done. A physical exam can be done and a medical history can be obtained to determine a cause of the late period. You might want to consider starting an oral contraceptive. This would provide more protection against unwanted pregnancy and might help regulate your menstrual cycles.
