Hello, Usually, a balance between estrogen and progesterone hormone is responsible for the building up of uterine lining which sheds during periods. However, period cycles may vary every month. Also, missing periods could be a sign of pregnancy. Are you sexually active? If yes, get a urine pregnancy test done before it's too late. For now, vist a gynecologist for further evaluation and management. You can also visit my clinic International Fertility Centre located in Green Park, New Delhi so that I can guide you better.
