“My period is 2 weeks late”
I was supposed to get my period 2 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten it. It took 4 pregnancy tests and they were all negative. My last period was on 8/8/22. I don't feel any different. I have been stressed out recently at work and I have some family drama going on. I'm not sure if stress is causing this.

Let's go with stress. Actually, I have no idea. Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind with no period is pregnancy, but I would expect a positive pregnancy test at some point. After that comes all the things that result in an abnormal cycle- persistent ovarian cyst, stress, hormone changes (like birth control, but I assume you aren't on any), etc. There is no way to know for sure and, unless you have other symptoms (fever, nausea, pain, etc), we usually just wait to see what happens over the next month. If it's been a couple missed periods, then seeing a gynecologist and getting an ultrasound would be reasonable. Despite being fairly regular, most women have occasional irregular periods without it being anything serious. Test for pregnancy every week or so while you're waiting to see if your period is going to start.
