Since you are 8 days late, a pregnancy test will most certainly be accurate by this time. What did your doctor say about why he or she thinks your period could be late?
If the pregnancy test said negative, most likely you are not pregnant and stress can affect your period. If you don't have it in a couple of days, it's best that you call your doctor again.
As for right now, try not to stress out, it's very unlikely that you are pregnant.
