It could be either or, sorry. Test again in a few days.
No matter how regular a woman's periods are, there are always going to be months that aren't, and she will change as she ages too.
Stopping menstrual flow is nature's way of keeping blood on hand (sometimes) for other situations, from stress to disease to nutritional deficiency to extreme athletics.
