Think about if you've had any stress recently.  Stress can cause your ovulation to get put on hold - its sort of an evolutionary thing to keep you from becoming pregnant if your village is being attacked by raiders or you know it was a bad harvest and you're not going to have enough food for the winter, etc etc.  

If you've been stressed at any part of your most recent ovulation cycle (so since the beginning of your last period), your body can literally just stop what its doing and delay ovulation for weeks.  I had a period right before Christmas, but before that I didn't have a period since the beginning of November (nor did I have any fertility signs - mucus, lubrication, etc).  I was, admittedly, getting pretty freaked out towards the end of it, but it turns out I was probably just stressed by school and some other issues I was dealing with at the time, because everything eventually just went back to normal like nothing weird had happened and now I'm having regular cycles again.

i once went an entire summer w/o a period. a couple months ago 21 days late and recently i was 14 days late. the summer was because my body was going through physical changes--i gained 10lbs and was drinking a lot (it was a party phase right after college). the recent changes are due to stress.
