A member asked:

So my period was due 3 days ago and never came. i typically have 5 days of spotting before it comes, but this month nothing. test is neg. 16 dpo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Regular cycles: occur at 28 day intervals, if not regular, or becomes irregular, could be polycystic ovarian syndrome. Of course, pregnancy is a very common reason for absent/delayed periods.
