Missed period? Can excercising make your period late?
Hi there. 19/f.
My period is ALWAYS on time. I start at the 14th of every month, and for some reason this month,
I haven't started yet.
This month I have started working out at the Y. I've done water aerobics, treadmill, oliptical, and a bicycle.
Me & my boyfriend had unprotected sex, and he uses the pull out method, but we haven't had sex in almost two months, and I've had my period since then on time; and I've also took pregnancy tests and all are negative; along with my blood test from my doctor. So I know it isn't that.
I haven't took my birth control yet. My doctor told me to start it at the beginning of April; so it can't be that. , and
I'm just curious as to why my period is late?

The short answer to your question is yes.
If you look at the Olympic women athletes many look under developed. Most of them are and most of them do not get there periods. The strenuous exercising they do takes so much out of them that their bodies halt that development and with it their periods. As soon as they stop training their bodies develop and their periods begin.
Even though you are starting birth control, your partner should still use a condom. First, it is a good back up birth control method. Second, while a condom does not prevent the transmission of all STDs it does prevent many. Having unprotected sex with someone that you have not been in a long term committed relationship with. Means that you are both having sex with everyone you have both had unprotected sex with in the past.
Your bf may not like condoms for some don't feel or take feeling away. There are a whole host of condoms on the market. You can experiment with different ones until you find one you both like. You can cruise the web and you will find companies that will send samples to try. If either of you are Latex sensitive there are non-latex condoms available..
