Women can have missed periods for many different reasons, and some of those reasons are "unknown". Not very helpful, I know. Reasons for a missed period include stress, recent illness, new medication or just "unknown". In fact, it is not even considered a concern/condition until a woman has missed three periods in-a-row (if you have no other symptoms). There is a chance for an underlying medical condition or hormonal-imbalance, but if you have no other symptoms and this is your first period you have "missed",then wait a few more weeks to see if your period begins. One other reason is if you have any iron deficiencies, or have had sudden weight loss/gain very recently?
Your body is reacting and interacting with the environment around you, and if you have none-of-the-above symptoms or conditions, you can wait 2-4 weeks for your next period. Please call your doctor if you do have any symptoms, or if you are still worried.
