In medical terms it is called "Amenorrhea"
Normal menstrual bleeding occurs between menarche and menopause and has an average length of 28 days but varies from woman to woman. The normal menstrual cycle depends on cyclic changes in estrogen and progesterone levels, as well as the integrity of the clotting system and the ability of the spiral arterioles in the uterus to constrict. Abnormalities in any of these components may cause bleeding to stop or increase.
Primary Amenorrhea
There are multiple causes for primary amenorrhea once pregnancy, lactation and missed abortion are ruled out. These include:
- anorexia nervosa/bulimia/malnutrition
- extreme obesity
- hyperthyroidism/hypoglycemia
- congenital heart disease
- cystic fibrosis/Crohn's disease
- genetic abnormalities
- obstructions: imperforate hymen/vaginal or cervical absence
- ovarian, pituitary (craniopharyngioma) or adrenal tumors
- polycystic ovarian disease
- testicular feminization.
In addtion to the above your general health and age are the factors to be noted for finding the exact reason. I suggest you to wait for another 15-20 days and if you do not get your period please see a gynocologist who will find out the reasons and give some medicine to regulate the periods.-

Dera Sofia, missing periods are, apart from pregnancy, due to hormonal disturbances. First get a Preg-Crad test done if you have an active sex life.
If hormonal, Ayurveda deals & cures it in a holistic way. Avoid Chemical Hormones, as herbal medicines are equally effective and have NO side effects. Write for solution: bliss7in@yahoo.co.in

Well, if you're sexually active, you should take a pregnancy test just in case.
If you're not or if you've taken one and the results were that you weren't pregnant, I've heard that extreme stress can cause you to miss periods.
Also, are you old enough for menopause? If so, that could be the case too.

If you have been sexually active, you might be pregnant.
