Hormonal imbalance: There normally is a drop in estrogen levels around mid-cycle that may have become exaggerated in this cycle. You may watch and wait. 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.
