well over the summer ive lost 30 pounds i usually get my period on the 14th of the month and its now the 21st! can losing weight make your period irregular?
PinkLady4863 answered Friday September 22 2006, 10:54 am: weight loss can definantly inturrupt your monthly flow, especially when it is that dramatic. But healthy weight loss does not. This means your not getting enough nutrition and your system is malfunctioning. Remember that malnutrition [or not plain not eating enough] can make you infertile and very sick. So take a vitamin everyday and eat three whole meals and as soon 2 months you should be back on schedule. [ PinkLady4863's advice column | Ask PinkLady4863 A Question ]

I don't think losing weight had anything to do with it. Sometimes your period will just come on a different day. You can even skip one entirely without there being a problem. Very few women have regular periods. Don't worry unless you start getting it every two weeks or if you miss it twice. So relax, nothing's wrong. Congrats on losing the weight, though, that's really great. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

Also, if your weight dips under 90 lbs or you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle..it is possible for it to remain irregular. [ OrionsFire's advice column | Ask OrionsFire A Question ]
