Q: my period is 5 days late but have done numerous pregnancy tests and all are negative i also have had cramps for about a week now my period is quite regular?

: Even normally regular women occasionally skip a cycle. If your symptoms are related to pregnancy, the hormones that trigger them would turn a pregnancy test positive. Tests can be falsely negative very early but are pretty accurate by 3 weeks after an exposure ending in pregnancy.
