Probably not: but could repeat in a week. Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; Over-exercising (endurance athletics), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives & other meds, Illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems (i.e., PCOS). Pregnancy is #1 reason.

Possibly: Hi. Depending on when implantation occurs, you might have missed it the first day after your missed period. Be safe and test again. Don't be paranoid, be informed and aware of your options. Good luck!
