Delayed Periods However Home Pregnancy Test Showing Negative. Is This Due To Stress Or Pregnancy?

I had my first post- pregnancy period starting on October 19, 2013. Since then, I have stopped breastfeeding and now I have a recently missed period. We did have unprotected sex once after my period ended. I have taken two hpt's and both results were negative. I have been under an immense amount of stress lately. Is this due to stress or could the pregnancy test genuinely be negative? When should I retest?

Hello!
The chance of being pregnant is very low:
unprotected intercourse once after your periods
home pregnancy test negative.
Delayed periods may be from the stress because this can cause hormonal imbalance.
