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?
