Negative pregnancy: If you are late for your period and the test is negative, then I do not think that you are pregnant. If you are not on birth control, then you need to get on it soon so that this is not a constant worry. The most likely cause of irregular periods is related to irregularity in terms of when you ovulate. This is common in young women such as yourself.
