Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are the two main cause of your problem:
1. Pregnancy: chance of pregnancy is high as you did sexual intercourse in fertile period. But negative pregnancy test make the possibility less. I advice you to repeat home pregnancy test in morning with fresh urine after 2-4 days.
Better diagnosis of pregnancy will be done by USG and blood HCG. So Go for it.
2. High caffeine: In absence of pregnancy, high caffeine containing drink like coffee and redbull can cause delayed period.
But it does not affect the test result but it cause delayed period.
For that cut down the coffee and red bull, start regular stretching and relaxation exercise, eat healthy diet and fruits like papaya, orange and pineapple.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
