I am 8 days late. My period has always been right on schedule. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they have all been negative. Has anyone else dealt with this type of situation?
Your period can change depending on numerous situations...birth control, stress, etc. I went 3 months without my period before I actually became pregnant.
If you don't chart with temps and CM, then there's no way to know if you're really late. You most likely ovulated late this month or perhaps, haven't even ovulated yet. Even if you're "regular", keeping track of 28/30 days on a calendar isn't an exact science like charting is; calendars only give you estimations and don't allow for illness or stress delaying ovulation. Charting will factor all of that in because you will be tracking your actual fertility signs, not just when you think your period will show.
I highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

That exact thing happened to my friend, she was over a week late, negative home pregnancy tests then went to her OB and they did a blood test and confirmed she was pregnant. Her OB said something pregnancies don't show up on home tests. Good luck!
