Answer
Dear Maya,

If you used a condom and there were no leaks or breaks in the integrity of the condom, then you should be protected from pregnancy.

Many things can affect your menstrual cycles. Stress, depression, a change in diet, weight gain or loss, strenuous or excessive exercise, thyroid dysfunction, or a hormonal imbalance. Try to relax about this - the worrying may be the cause of the delay. If you have had 6 negative HPTs since the missed period, I would suspect you are not pregnant.

My suggestion is to wait and see what happens with the next cycle. If you do not have a period between now and then or miss the next one, then go ahead and schedule an appointment with your doctor so that a cause for the absence of periods can be determined.

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
