Could A Late Period Indicate A Pregnancy?

During intercourse with my boyfriend at the beginning of this month the condom broke although the majority of the ejaculation remained contained. I've been under enormous stress at home (my mother is an alcoholic with excessive brain damage and severe depression) and I am 2 weeks late for my period now. I took 2 pregnancy tests yesterday which both said negative but I remain completely terrified. Abortion is illegal in the country I reside and my dad would kill me if I was ever pregnant before marriage. Is it possible I'm just late because of stress or am I right to be concerned? It's not an option for me to keep a child given the circumstances and also due to medication I have previously taken for acne- would cause birth defects for up to another year.

Hi,     
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. As your pregnancy test is negative its unlikely that you are pregnant, but DELAYED CONCEPTION cannot be ruled out. So pregnancy can be there, its better to get scan pelvis. Please use some good contraception in future. Considering your family problems you need to be careful.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
