Some antibiotics are known to alter the period but it's a rare occurrence and usually not severe. But it may be something else. I wouldn't stress over it unless it recurs for, say, 3 months in a row or other symptoms develop. And make sure you're not pregnant with a urine test.

Stress?: Your menstrual cycle is controlled by a delicate balance of hormones secreted by your brain and pituitary gland. Unusual physical or mental stress or concurrent illness can alter this balance and cause an abnormal cycle.
