I don't understand MMC.
When did you take the tests? It could be that you're testing too so. Another possibility is that you missed your period, or it is delay by a REALLY long time. There will be times that you will just not have your period and no little to no reason at all. Some of the cause are illness and stress. Anything that stresses your body could cause a delay in menstruation.
Give it another week and test. I would also talk to your doctor. If you're not looking to have kids I would suggest looking into birthcontrol. Insterting metal probes into your uterus to destroy a embryo and the surrounding tissue so it can't grow any more isn't really a good option considering what you could get.

MMC=missed miscarriage
See what happens in the nest few days. Your period may be about to start. July could have just been an off cycle.
If no period when you would normally expect one for August, try a pregnancy test at home or see your doctor for a pregnancy blood test.
Metal probes......was something edited out of the original post?

Nope, D&C Dilate and curettage, essentally disturbing and removal of the uterine lining to abort a pregnancy. Didn't realize what MMC meant.

That's what I thought you might be referring to... have had two myself for a different reason, but I wasn't sure what it meant for the poster. It is sometimes needed for a missed miscarriage, when medications don't work. Her doctor must have felt it was a necessary option in her situation.
