unusual missed period - out of country!!

Have just missed my period for only the 2nd time in my 15 yrs menstruating. What could this mean? Likely am not PG since I have been out of the country, except SLIGHTLY possible when saw my husband around Christmas (around but prob after ovulating). Please help:
1) took test with FMU on Saturday (when I was 3-5 days late) and it was negative
2) which brings me to my second question: last month's period was 2 light days then 3 heavy days. Do I count the official start from the first light day or the first heavy day? Makes a difference on how late I am. If first light day then am 1 wk late tomorrow.

I am out of the country for a couple of months and REALLY stressed! What should I do next??? I do not feel PG except some slightly sore breasts, which I get sometimes in my cycle. AF doesn't feel even close either. Please advise on what you would do!! Thanks

Stress can delay your period. Give it another week, and if it doesn't show up, take another test. Good luck and hugs.

stress, as well as changes in diet (which usually happen when we travel internationally) can affect your period.
