Periods

[Ijustlovefood]

Has anyone missed a period or noticed irregularities since starting Slimming World and losing weight?
My period hasn't arrived and tests are negative. I have lost 6 1/2 lbs over about 4 weeks.

Anyone?

I'm not able to answer as I have a complicated kind of way. But my friend found her periods returned on SW where as with the mirena coil she hadn't had a period for 3 years. So it could be change in diet and weight loss. Hopefully it will sort itself out.

OP, I would think that this is just coincidence.
Periods might be affected by a poor diet, but SW is a healthy eating plan.

I had the opposite, my periods came more often (up to 20 days long) at a couple of different points in my weight loss despite being on a pill to stop periods. The GP said that hormones are stored in body fat and can be released and impact the cycle as you lose weight.

It's unlikely to be diet related after just 4 weeks
