Several causes.: Many women will have irregular menses if they are very stressed. This could be an emotional stress, recent illness, weight loss, excessive exercise. Hormone imbalance with either thyroid dysfunction or a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome will also cause delayed menses and your doctor can test for these. If you feel healthy, give it a month or two and you may go back to your old cycle.

Not uncommon: Irregular periods without being pregnant, are common in your age group for several reasons, gaining weight is one common cause, also hormonal imbalance, wait for one or two more weeks or if other symptoms develop see your gynecologist, goodluck
