It happens sometimes: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc… Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome. Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.

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.

Infertility ?'s: With regular periods (for two years) the most common cause (aside from low sperm in the male) is blocked fallopian tubes. Ask your gyn physician about a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) if a repeat pregnancy test is negative in about a week. The test injects sterile fluid into the tubes and can overcome some obstructions , making pregnancy possible.
