Missing a period can either be because of a hormonal imbalance, stress, or infection. It would be best to see your doctor to see what the problem may be.

if you have just started getting your period it may take time for your hormones to even out. Or you could be like me and have a condition where you have abnormally long menses or skip a couple of months. I would encourage you to see a doctor. I went 5 months with on and off again periods. When I went to the doctor the pregnance test came back negative. They had to give me an ultrasound. My on and off periods turned out to be placenta previa and I was 5 months pregnant.
