Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Missed Period: Even though most common cause of missed period is pregnancy.But it can be due to other causes.I suggest you repeat the urine test for pregnancy and if still negative wait for few days and if still no period consult your Gynecologist to find the cause
