Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Delayed or irregular period may be due to many reasons.
In your case probably it is due to stress.Periods may be irregular for few years after puberty.
Other causes causing menstrual irregularity are hormonal imbalance,Thyroid problems,Poly cystic ovarian disease, Over or under weight etc.
You should consult your gynecologist.
You may need medicines.
Ultrasound of pelvis should also be done to confirm other associated pathology.
Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
