Not normal: Normal cycles don't usually last longer than 35 days. If you usually have 30 day cycles, its not really normal for you to be late by 5 days. If you are not pregnant, this is frequently caused by an anovulatory month brought on by stress, weight loss or other things. If it happens once wouldn't worry if pregnancy tests are negative. If it becomes a pattern, get checked. Best wishes!
