Hello and thank you for the question!
Unless you are trying for a baby,there are different reasons why your periods may be late.1.Stress.The hypothalamus( where a lot of the hormones for your period are regulate),is very affected by stress.So if you are very stressed because of something strong that has affected your life recently,this may be the cause of your delayed period.2.The Irregularity of thyroid,hypo or hyperthyroidism both cause delayed periods.3.Weight loss.4.PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Symptom),you have altered levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone and it can cause to not menstruate regularly.Anyway i would advice to consut a gynecologist,to have an abdominal echo and a blood examination!
best regards!
