Weight Loss for Everyone: Dieting messing with menstrual cycle

Tuesday, January 25, 2022

Dieting messing with menstrual cycle

I would love any advice in this realm! I’m 40F , 6ft and my starting weight was about 250 and now I’m around 215. My goal is 180.

I have found that when I’m dieting my periods get all messed up - spotting in between, longer periods, every 3 weeks or less. It’s super annoying and I’ve been through every test you can imagine to find a cause - no fibroids, no hormonal issues (not in perimenopause according to my doc), normal pap, even had a uterine biopsy to rule out cancer since my mom had it and spotting was her only symptom.

When I go into maintenance I have normal periods. When I’m losing, they get out of whack. I’m eating about 2,000 cal a day so I think it’s enough. I cannot take any form of hormonal birth control.

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? It’s so annoying I want to quit :(
