Changes in weight: A change in your weight is not normally a cause of a missed period. When was your last period? If it was less than 30 days, no reason for alarm. Have you been hungry recently? Gaining 6 kg is unusual. If you changed your diet and exercise a lot, it is possible to change this much. Even pregnancy would not cause you to gain 6 kg in a few days.
