The likelihood of: Pregnancy is quite low at age 52 years old. Many women experience irregularity if they are perimenopausal. You can always take a pregnancy test to confirm but this may be change of life symptoms. Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; over-exercising (endurance athletics), travel, significant illnesses.
