Hi Lynnosia,
There are many reasons for a women's period to be delayed. Some of them are stress, pregnancy, health, weight, and age. I once went through a whole year without getting my period and I was on no birth control. I went to the doctor and a gynecologist at the time and I was considered healthy the whole time - there never was a reason that my period went AWOL, so yes it is common and normal.
Are you of a normal weight? Have you reasons right now to be stressing a lot? Have there been any recent changes to your diet or health? Are you on antibiotics? On birth control?
Again, this is normal and no reason to panic. Hope this helps and good luck.
