Normal: This could be simply due to stress. If you track your cycle you might find some variability in the days of the cycle. If you wish to have more regular cycles discuss options with your doctor.

Many reasons: Stress can cause a delay but other things also. If you missed your menses you can take a over the counter pregnancy test.
