A missed period can be caused by a number of things, such as hormonal imbalance, stress, excessive exercise, and weight loss or gain. It could also be a sign of pregnancy.
If you have missed three periods in a row and are not pregnant, then it is most likely due to a hormonal imbalance. This can be caused by stress, dieting, excessive exercise, or weight fluctuations. See your doctor for an evaluation and to determine the cause of the hormone imbalance. Depending on the cause, you may need medication or lifestyle changes to correct it.
