That is unusual.: Reasons for missed/late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problems. #1 reason is pregnancy.

Doubtful: The pregnancy tests, including urine, are very sensitive and test for human chorionic gonadatropin (HCG) which is produced when you have a fertilized egg and are pregnant. If you have any other symptoms and are concerned, see a dr. And get a serum test to quell your fears. Best wishes.
