Period delay

I wanted to ask about my girlfriend's delayed period. Her last period started on June 28, and we expected her next period around July 28, but she still hasn't gotten it. We were intimate between July 2 and July 6, but there was no vaginal intercourse or penetration. We only had oral sex and fingering, and there was no ejaculation. She also took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. Given this situation, is pregnancy a concern, or could the delayed period be due to other reasons? Should we wait a little longer for her period, or would you recommend that she consult a gynecologist or get any tests done?

Vaginal bleeding before menstruation

My periods date is 15th August, I have 28 days of regular cycle, last periods start date was 18th July. I had unprotected encounter on 25th July (pull out method). Last night I noticed some vaginal bleeding, which was unlike my normal periods. The blood (4-5 drops, red in color) was all over the tissue when I wiped my vagina. Ever since I had unprotected encounter I have been feeling this vaginal sensation like the urge-to-pee everytime. Yesterday I couldn't pee for several hours and hold it off due to travel, and my bladder was so full, that when I finally peed there was this too much pain (sensation-like) in my vagina. Could this blood be because of that (sudden pressure in bladder) or is it implantation blood? Please suggest if it's pregnancy symptom or something else? It was just one time blood spots, didn't observe it subsequently.
