While I am absolutely relieved that I am indeed, NOT pregnant, I'm baffled at the same time.
It is now 11 days past due, and no period in sight. No PMS, no nothing.
So, here I sit, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, researching possible causes of my missed period. I know it isn't menopause, I'm only 32 years old. I'm not pregnant, both tests, taken on 2 separate days, have both come back negative. I'm at a loss.
I have read an article, however, that has given me a plausible reason for my missed period.
Stress.
Believe it or not, a woman who is under great amounts of stress will from time to time miss her menstrual flow. As wacky as this sounds, I am prone to believe this theory. I have been under so much stress for the past few weeks that I've literally reached the point of insanity and somehow made my way back.
Only time will tell, I am eager to see what next month brings.

Hopefully it will be just stress, either way you should still visit a doctor, you know? At least the pregnancy was a no go, that would really complicate things for you.
I'm really glad you are back!
el cuervo, wise advice! I'm giving it one more week, but if nothing happens, I'm making an appointment. I hate to say it, but, I find this very scary.
I wouldn't wig out too much. Although I've never missed a period due to stress or anxiety, I have broke out into a nasty case of hives that last a month! This is a sign, though...your body will only give you so many warnings before something more serious gives...
