Have any of you ladies had a change in cycle since dieting and exercising? I usually start on day 28 and today is day 32 and still no period. Not PG either, I now only have my right tube and it is cut, burned and tied!

    Not really, I just find that my cramps aren't as bad now.

    At the stage of life I'm in, my cycle is more like a rollercoaster anyway, so I couldn't say. Have you lost a LOT of weight, enough that you might be below a healthy % of body fat?

    I noticed that mine changed by a few days when I first started but it got back on a regular cycle after that.

    Thank you for not calling it TOM. LOL

    Nope, like clockwork every month.

    My cramps are less now and my flow isn't quite as heavy - and by that I mean I don't panic that I am going to bleed to death when it happens.

    I noticed mine started changing when I lost 20ish pounds, it started earlier and lasted a shorter time. My cycle is a bit irregular now, my gyno told me it was fine.

    Diet can affect hormones. Changes in your cycle could be an indication of a change in your hormones.

    You should probably consult a physician since everybody's body will react differently based on genetics.

    I lost mine for a few months last year. (I was hard core exercising and dieting) I had to take pills to make it regular. I just got off it and trying to see if it'll arrive on its own.

    mine decided to speed up and switch to a 21 day cycle instead of a 28 day cycle. birth control became a must; "ain't nobody got time for that!"

    Mine have always been regular, but they are 3 days shorter and lighter since I have lost weight and exercised.

    I'm glad you posted this! YES I have had major changes. I started 4 days late this month. Almost had a panic attack because I've never been late! A few people around me mentioned it is likely change in diet/exercise. My cramps have gotten worse as well. Not sure why, but overall things have definitely been changing.
