Wait a little bit and see what happens. If it continues to concern you talk to your doctor, they can give you more advice.
~Significant weight gain or loss
~Overexercise***
~Poor nutrition (or a diet too high in carbohydrates)
~Smoking
~Drug use
~Caffeine
~Excessive alcohol use (interfering with how the liver metabolizes estrogen and progesterone)
~Eating disorders
~Increased stress
~Polycystic ovarian syndrome/Estrogen dominance
~Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)
~Hormonal imbalances related to perimenopause
~Medications
~Chemotherapy
