Why does my period stop for a day and then start back up? i am not on any medication or birth control. i was also 3 days late.

Not significant: You get a period because the lining of your uterus cleans out periodically. This is not necessarily a completely regular process. Also, this sort of small variation in your cycle is also usually normal.
