Hello, I am 5 days late with my period (slight nausea not disturbing) I did a test yesterday negative, this morning negative, I am a little confused. Usually I was still regular, I don't understand.

Hello, The pregnancy test can detect the presence of the hormone in the urine if the hormone is present in sufficient quantity. In order to have a good chance that the test will work, it is better to do the test in the morning, with the first urine of the day. This allows the hormone to concentrate in the urine somewhat. In early pregnancy, the amount of hormone in the urine increases rapidly (about doubling every two days). I therefore recommend that you continue to do pregnancy tests, but this time every other day with the first morning urine.

If it's still negative and the period doesn't start, what should I do?

Nothing... except waiting :). It's not uncommon for the cycle to change like this when trying to conceive a child. You don't have to worry about it.
