Amenorrhea: The irregular periods of the perimenopausal age are a more likely cause. Stress is also a factor. Recc- home pregnancy test if you are concerned. If this is negative, followup with primary care physician or gyn physician.

Possible.: More likely answer is your age. It is common for periods to become less frequent as you approach menopause.

Very small chance.: 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), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives ; other meds, illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems (i.e., pcos). Take a home pregnancy test to know.
