Pls Help!

We used protection, but i'm just curious to know why I have not started my period yet. I have always been normal 26-28 cycle. I am curious to know if you did get your period or not?

Well you have taken the pregnancy test and it is negative so you have nothing to worry about there. Hopefully you did use protection (if you didnt use a condom then you really should get an STD check and get to your doctors quickly).
Periods can be irregular for lots of reasons, stress often stops periods from arriving so I think the best thing you can do is stop worrying, stop stressing and relax. It will come along, but not until you stop worrying it!
Its only 3 days late, that isnt much at all. But if it has still not arrived about 1 week/2 weeks after you were due on then I would go to the doctors, they will be able to get to the bottom of it. It could be many things, from being underweight to stress.
Good luck and try not to worry!
