Does anybody experienced missed or delayed period due to excessive exercise? I'm now two weeks late, 100% sure I'm not pregnant!!! I have been reading and looks like excessive exercise maybe a possibility... Is this normal?
Very common, especially in active women( under 15% - not specifically a number thing though) or women on certain diets.
-Usually due to hormonal fluctuations. ie. less body fat usually means lower oestrogen levels.
-Many woman find once they reduce exercise or increase food or supplement progestrone normal periods will return.
-There is no hard evidence to say this can be dangerous for future feritility
Personally I enjoy not having the hassal (and mood swings) of a period and prefer to stay lean enough to avoid them
