The most common reason for a period not coming when it should if you're not pregnant is a delay in or absence of ovulation. This is not uncommon for some women as seems to be the case for you girlfriend. This is something that should be evaluated though and she should discuss this with her doctor.
I can be dysmenorrhea, and can be an ectopic pregnancy which becomes test-sensitive 1-2 weeks later than the uterine pregnancy (because of the lower level of the hCG). Dysmenorrhea has multiple reasons (ovarian cyst, endometriosis, PCOS, stress, flu, STI, exposure to toxic hazards, obesity, underweight/cachexia, hypochrome anemia, pituitary disorders, allergies, liver disorders, practicing certain sports, thyroid/parathyroid disorders) that need to be checked after collecting the medical and family history.
Reasons for seeking an emergency care include: sharp and acute pain, irregular bleeding, and fever. Otherwise, if she feels well you just have to wait and see.
