Can happen: Either spontaneously or if you are on hormonal contraception. As always, make sure you are not pregnant. If a recurring issue, then get yourself evaluated

No: The range of normal for menstrual cycle lengths is 21 to 36 days. Any cycle length less than 21 days (3 weeks) is not normal and you should see your doctor.

Multiple: There are too many causes to describe here. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, fibroids, polyps, ovulation disorders, bleeding problems etc. You should see a gynecologist to sort this out if it is recurrent. It is not uncommon for women to have maybe one aberrant cycle per year that is relatively unexplainable. Good luck.

Is it possible to miss first period on the pill?

Yes, common: Spotting or missing period is quite common during the first couple months of use. It is also still possible to get pregnant during use (chance is low) so double check with a home pregnancy test. Usually after 2-3 months, period should be regular. If not, consult doc. Good luck.
