No period, but negative pregnancy test??

Hello to everyone out there!

My confusing problem: I've been off birth control for 5 months due to the side affects and after my last period while on birth control I begin having regular periods. Me and my significant other use condoms everytime with NO exceptions. The condom has never broke and we check it after sex everytime to make sure of that. This month I was suppose to start mt period (my cycle is around 34 days) on the 3rd, but nothing came. I went and bought a pregnancy test that shows results up to 5 days before your period. I took the first test the night I was suppose to get my period and it came out negetive. I then took another test 2 day later thinking that maybe the HCG in my urine hadn't showed up yet and it came out negetive as well. Then I took another one about three days later since my period still didn't shown and it was negative once agian. So my questions are: What, besides pregnancy, causes a missed period? How accruate are home preganancy test? Has anyone else had this experince before? I have another test and am going to wait and take in a week from now if my period hasn't shown by then.

Thank you for your time!

I am still going to go to the doctor next week on Tuesday to make sure everything is ok and maybe take a blood test if she thinks it's best. Thanks for your input and support. This board is really heplful and I am very thankful I came here!
