For a long time my periods were irregular. Then I lost from 190 to about 155 and my periods regulated
I never skipped one for the whole time i kpt the weight off then since aprili have been gaining it back
and i am up to about 180-190 again and my I've had 2 since april. Could this cause my irregular
periods? I am wanting to have a child and am trying to figure out the cause for my irregular menses.
Any shifts in weight, changes in diet, exercise, stress levels can indeed
effect your periods. The only way to be sure though is to see your doctor.
He or she will probably draw some blood and check your hormone levels. If
this is a hormonal problem they may prescribe hormones(provera)to bring on
your period, or possibly put you on the pill to help regulate your cycle.
