Reading the entire story including the negative pregnancy test makes me
think stress, stress and stress. Pregnancy is possible from the 5/5
"interlude" but that wouldn't have made the present period late. It
would have to have been late already which get me back to stress.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
