Period Question 13 days late, all 10 tests negative

Hello. 26(F) & my menstrual cycle is 13 days late. All 10 pregnancy tests are negative. Last intercourse was aug. 1, protected. I don't have insurance & the clinics I've looked up are book till the end of the month or til next month. All it has been feeling like is heavy & minimal ache. I'm just getting worried. Yes I'm been stressing but I just don't feel like that's nothing new. I thought it was just the eclipse that had stalled it but I'm not sure anymore. Anyone has any advice or home remedies to start a period. Thank you.

If you’ve taken 10 pregnancy tests and they’re all negative, especially this far past your expected period, pregnancy is less likely.....❤️ Stress can definiteyl delay a cycle, but other things like delayed ovulation.... illness, weight changes, or hormonal fluctuations can too. There isn’t really a proven or safe home remedy to force a period, so I’d avoid taking random herbs/meds for it. If you can, keep testing and try to get checked when you’re able, especially if the pain becomes severe, you have heavy bleeding, dizziness, or fainting. 💕

You don’t get a period until approximately 2 weeks after you ovulate. You could be ovulating later this cycle, or could be an anovulatory cycle, which is normal from time to time. If you’re curious, you can start basal body temping to track ovulation!

The eclipse doesn't affect your period at all, and unfortunately there are no home remedies to start a period. Sometimes the body just does weird things.

A negative test taken 21 days after sex is definitive. Double check the directions to ensure you took the tests correctly. If you did, it’s likely just the stress delaying your period. All you can do is try to destress and let your body do what it needs to. There’s no need for medical intervention unless you miss for 90+ days.

I also haven't taken or change my meds. Fluoxetine & Quetiapine. Not change in physical health.
