I am on the generic of Loestrin Fe for birth control and have been for 2 & 1/2 years since I got married with no problems and a normal cycle. I have not had a period, however, since I started on MFP 2 months ago. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and they've both been negative. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet and it's been working well; I've lost 14 lbs. over the course of the last 8 weeks and am eating relatively healthy and never under the 1200 calorie threshold. Have any other ladies out there experienced this? Ideas?

    Sometimes when you loose to much weight or loose it to fast, your period might stop for awhile to "re-adjust". My friend lost hers for a year. Although she was underweight.

    I swear there should be a disclaimer. I lost my friend for like three months this summer and thought I was losing my mind. I knew I was not pregnant (took a test anyway). If you lose more than 1-2% of your body weight a week it can vanish. See you ob/gyn if your cycle continues to be wonky. Yes that is a technical term.

    It hasn't happened to me, but it is common. Don't worry!
