Weight loss and late period

[Gablexy]

My period is 8 days late. No chance I could be pregnant. I’ve lost 2.5 stone since May, but I’m well within my BMI healthy range. Up till now my periods have shown up as usual. Should I be worried at all?

When you lose weight your fat cells release the oestrogen that’s stored in them as they empty. It’s not surprising that big release of hormones has an effect on your cycle. Mine went really weird got a bit when I lost weight last year. It should settle down soon. Give it a little time and see what happens.

Have you been trying to lose weight or has it just happened?

I’d been trying, lost 1-2lbs a week so nothing drastic
