Exercise and irregular bleeding?

I am 31 and I have been overweight my whole life.  I am finally on the track of losing weight and I noticed I am getting my period almost every two weeks.  The first one was really heavy with very bad cramps (which I never had when I was heavier) and then two weeks later its really light more just an annoyance.  Then 2 weeks later and bam it's back to being horrible.  

I had just been to the doctor and did all sorts of testing and I am perfectly fine.  

Is there something natural I could take to regulate my period?  And why are my cramps so bad now that I am losing weight?

Hello,
Polymenorrhea or bleeding from vagina more than once a month could be due to several causes such fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems and bleeding disorders. It could also be due to an IUD implant if you have one or due to oral contraceptive pills. It can also be a part of severe pelvic inflammatory disorder. STDs like Chlamydia and gonorrhea too can cause this.

You need to get evaluated for all these causes from your gynecologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Your body is changing that's what causing your period to come that way. It's trying to get use to your body. But your body keeps changing so your period is just trying to calculate your body. Im actually dealing with it now
