Newbie and Confused - Preganant????

My husband I recently decided to start a family! I finished my last full birth control pill cycle at the end of June after being on it for 7 years straight years (whew, it feels great not to have that routine anymore!) I was delighted to see my period arrive 5 weeks to the day I started my period during the 'placebo' week on my pills as I was glad to see my body function normally on its own. I figured I must be on a 35 day cycle. I kept tabs on ovulation symptoms (did not use a kit or BBT) and am fairly sure of the the week I ovulated and made sure my husband and I gave ourselves a chance during this week (symptoms were from 8/5 - 8/9). I expected to get my period on 8/20, 8/22 at the latest. Today is 8/26 with no period and two preganancy tests that show negatives (one EPT on 8/21 and on Early detection CBE on 8/24)
What would you do, think? Take another Preg. Test this week? If I am not pregnant, then I am concerned that I may end up with an irregular cycle. Could the birth control pills still be in my system and my body still not 'regulated'? Any feedback is welcomed.
Signed,
Confused
