    Standard question, is it even remotely possible you are pregnant?

    I've actually been spotting this week, I'm wondering if that has anything to do with my change in diet/exercise. Any thoughts?

    (Forgot to mention I'm also on BC)

    I agree with monkeys if there is a possibility you might be pregnant check it out with a test, if not sometimes weightloss can slow it up I suffer from Severe Polycystic ovaries and have found the more weight I lose the more regular I get but I can be 3-4 days slow in getting my period on large weightloss weeks if you have lost alot of weight within a week up your water intake to help your period arrive sometimes when you lose water weight your body is dehydrated and cant get girly time started. hope this helps

    Stress on your body from exercise can alter your period drastically. I was in the Marine Corps & during bootcamp there were a lot of variations on peoples response to the stress. Some girls had their periods every single day for the entire 3 months while others didn't have it even once. Some also stayed normal. You should def check to make sure you're not prego, but if not don't freak out. It is perfectly normal for your body to react in this way :)

    For the first two months of my weight loss my periods were nill to none then they picked right back up. I'm on BC too so they're always regular.

    When I exercise out the blue, my TOM gets bumped a few days late.then I know that's why I haven't gotten it and I know I'm not preggo. So, don't freak out. If you've been working out harder than you usually do, your body is going thru change and you'll get it in a few days. I know this girl who flew to Africa and stayed there for 2 months. She had her TOM before she left and didn't get it until almost a month after she came back! Nothing to worry about if your preg test is negative.

    I was just going to ask the same question. I am getting the depo shot to stop my TOM due to pain. I started exercising close to two months ago, really exercising. All of a sudden, after every workout, my TOM would come back for a few hours along with cramps. I figured it was the working out that was doing it but am not absolutely sure.

    Exercise and change of eating habit changes your hormone levels. It would make sense that your cycle would change. I am always on time but I noticed my last one was a bit longer but it was much lighter.

    Take a test though if you're really concerned.

    In the same boat, married with Mirena. My cycle has been WAY off since I started working out heavy. I would check to be sure though.
