Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
February 14, 2016 - 7:47pmSometimes irregular periods can be caused simply by hormonal imbalances caused by stress, medication, change in diet etc. If you constantly have irregular periods for the next few months doctors usually recommend taking birth control pills to regulate your hormones. However I recommend getting a pap smear in order to confirm nothing more is going on besides hormonal changes.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article describing more causes of late periods:

I hope that helps.
