Menstrual Cycle ? for women who lost weight

[BluSoulSista]

Hello Ladies,

This is a bit of a personal question. . .are there any women out there who had irregular periods before losing weight and after losing weight, it regulated itself?

I'd just like to hear your experiences, because my doctor has told me that my being overweight is probably the cause of my irregular periods, which is a major reason that I am trying to lose weight. All of the hormonal tests he ran were normal otherwise.

Thanks!

Yes ma'am Yes ma'am I have been irregular for quite a few years now until last year. I never thought that it was because I was over weight Whenever I went in for checkups the doctor would always ask why I was irregular. I didnt think it was a big deal. Oh how I loved skipping months..Sometimes I wouldnt come on for 3 or 4months straight. Talking about being so heavy when it did show up

My cycle has been here every month since the big weightloss. Mann I never thought about that.

When I went to my Dr. for having missed periods, I was then diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarine syndrome), these are the following symptoms of PCOSverweight, hair in unwanted places(chin, chest etc.), missed periods body overheating, "apple-shape" frame instead of pear (most of weight lies in stomach) PCOS if not treated can lead to diabetes. My Dr. told me if I lost the weight, like u all have reported, my periods would be regular, and I'd lessen the risk for diabetes. U can look it up for more info. but it's something to look into.
