This happened with me as well, you should be doing lab work regularly while on accutane I believe monthly this blood work tests pregnancy and to see if your anemic (msp?), your Dr. will call you if anything is wrong.  I know your not prego, but really infants have been known to have a "balloon" head because mommy was on accutane.  Stress or hanging out with a new set of girlfriends may be to blame for missing your period.  This sounds weird but think about it do you have a close gf and she happens to be on her period the same time as you?

Accutane can cause menstrual disturbance. It is listed as a potential side effect in the leaflet enclosed in with your tablets. As there is no chance you could be pregnant, please don't worry.
