Even normally regular women will sometimes have delayed or skip a cycle. The delay can last 60 days or more. Bloating is usually triggered by intestinal gas & is not specific to one cause. If the situation continues discuss it with your doc. It may self correct.

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.
