Hi
As you have rightly said Dec 5 - Dec 9 is your safe period since you have regular cycles. Intercourse during this period is not going to cause pregnancy.
Occasionlly 1-2menstrual cycles in a year can be irregular and this is normal. I feel this delayed mensus of yours is this.
Please note that no contraceptive method is 100% effective. So there is a small possibility of pregnancy with contraceptive method failure in November. Repeat pregnancy test. If still negative consult doctor and take medicine to start mensus.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
