Some thoughts...: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc… Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome. Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.

Pregnancy: If the anticipated menstrual period does not show, a pregnancy test should always be done, because for a variety of reasons it is important to recognize a pregnancy early. If the pregnancy test is negative, it requires detailed investigation to identify the cause of the amenorrhea.
