: Sometimes, periods are irregular for many different reasons, including stress. If there is any possibility of pregnancy, you should take a home pregnancy test. If that is negative, then wait to see if you get a regular period next month. If it continues to be irregular, see your doctor for evaluation. Good luck to you!
