Do post a question: No question posted. In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: pregnancy, excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (such as hormone pills), hormonal imbalances, being near menopause, etc… Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent or worrisome.

Rule out pregnancy: Do a pregnancy test. Were you on contraception until November? If you are not pregnant, it may be normal if you were on contraception prior. Also, it may be perimenopausal. If you are concerned then see you doctor.
