    Are you normally regular on your cycle?

    yep, pee test! next, relax, sometimes stress can make you late and if you have been putting a lot of pressure on yourself over diet and exercise it can happen. your body fat has to be pretty low to miss periods due to exercise so don't worry about that. rule out the obvious first and do a pee test. anything healthwise going on? thyroid problem or anything?

    Pee test.

    This.
    I'm sorry I have nothing else to give. I thought it should keep you regular unless you've made a drastic change which has put your body in shock!

    It's normal for your moon to be messed up by weight loss, especially 28 pounds in a month! Great job! Stress and any weight loss pills can effect it too.

    Dieting and exercise cause a big change in cycle because your body is learning a whole new way

    Yes I can almost always bet I will start in the 2nd of every month.

    Is there any chance you could be expecting? If you have been abstinent, then don't worry, sometimes you just don't ovulate. And sometimes you'll be 10 days early! Crazy, hectic life.

    There is a book called "Fertility, Cycles & Nutrition" it's very insightful!

    Drastic changes in diet can affect your hormones. If there's no chance of pregnancy, I'd say your body is just adjusting to your new routine.

    I would suggest talking to your doctor then. It could be nothing, but it could also be something, y'know? Drastic changes in your cycle can be indicative of a lot of problems, some insignificant, some big. Hopefully, it's just a bad month :smile:

    When I first started working out my normal week long heavy was a three day drip. It was like it was not even fully there. But It was because my body was going into changes and my body got stressed out because of it. Just relax and it will eventually come. If it doesn't by the next time it should hit I would recommend seeing your doctor. And everyone that keeps telling her to pee on a stick read above, she has been fixed lol. I will hope it comes for you, I know how stressing it can be to wonder where it went.

    I'm fixed!!!:blushing:

    Pee on a stick anyway. It is extremely rare, but one can get pregnant after being fixed.

    It's not uncommon to stop cycling when you pick up a really demanding workout routine, especially if you weren't very regular to begin with. Not a bad idea to check in with a gyno, but you're probably fine. Any idea what your body fat percentage is?

    Lots of excercise can cause irregularity.

    Working out is causing you to be late...it will be back. I wouldn't stress too much.

    Not sure really...I only have about 25 to lose. I am 170 and 5'6.

    Hi,
    just relax, your body & mind are going through some changes. Keep doing what you're doing & if you miss next month as well then maybe consider seeing the doc but I'm sure it's nothing. This sort of stuff happens. I remember a doc telling me once you can miss one after just going on a plane trip cause it messes with your body and mind! lol.
