Hey,
I know that huge amounts of weight loss (like 20lb in a month) can affect periods by making them late or causing them to miss that month... But what about small amounts of weight loss too? Like, I lost 5lb this month and my period is nearly a week late and I'm usually very regular. Could this be caused by this weight loss?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Pretty sure it's normal. =) Mine was a little late as well this week, and I often hear sudden weight loss or gain can mess with your cycle.
