Rule out pregnancy: First do a pregnancy test if there is any chance you might be pregnant. If you're not, there are many other hormonal issues that it could be. Sometimes just a change in stress or weight may change the time of your period. See a gynecologist if your period is not coming monthly.

More info: Please provide more information: are your periods regular or irregular? How late are you? Are you sexually active? Are you taking birth control pills?
