Many possibilities: The most serious cause for this to happen in a young woman is pregnancy. If pregnancy is at all possible, get a pregnancy test. Sometimes your period will be delayed, or irregular, for a month or two due to physical or emotional stress (sometimes even minor stress) . On occasion your ovary will produce a temporary cyst that produce an excess amount of hormone that will alter your period for a time.
