Your nails and hair go through dormant stages where they don't grow as much. It's possible that's where you are now. I actually keep my finger and toe nails quite short. I only have to cut them once every 2 - 3 weeks. Toenails can go fairly slowly.
If the nailbed looks normal, the nail material looks relatively clear, and there's no puss, or blood then I wouldn't worry. IF, on the other hand, Your nail is yellow or has brownish streaks, if it's significantly thicker than some of your other nails, and the nail material is somewhat flaky you could have some fungus growing in there. In that case it would be an ongoing problem and would grow much more slowly.
I would personally wait a week or so - see if there's any improvement and if not or if it continues to chip then I would see a Dr. I'm sure it goes without saying that if you begin to notice any signs of infection that you should see a Dr ASAP. For now just be patient.
