Hi!
It sounds to me like you have a hormonal imbalance. If this is something that is a "one time deal" you could just call your doctor for a prescription for progesterone. Taking progesterone for five days will probably start your period. If this happens to you frequently, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In that case, you may want to have some hormonal testing done (I like to check Thyroid Function, Prolactin level, FSH initially) and you may want to discuss a medication to regulate your periods.
Depending upon your wishes, birth control pills can work very nicely to regulate the cycle, even if there is no need for contraception.
I hope this is helpful!
