Multiple factors: if sexually active and unprotected, pregnancy must be ruled out. Stress, tension, anxiety, depression, female hormonal issues, thyroid issues, underlying medical conditions and age can all contribute to cycle irregularities. You must be examined and tested for pregnancy and other issues mentioned.
