Brief Answer:
Stress or hormonal disturbances
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular and delayed periods can be due to stress, or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
You should get yourself examined and investigated properly to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
The next periods is expected to come at around expected date if it was due to stress or delayed if any hormonal disturbances are there.
