Girl Stuff--abnormal bleeding

Missa Posts: 56 Joined: 2002/04/09	2002/05/24, 10:03 AM Wondering if anyone else has experienced abnormal bleeding as a result of working out? I have and am going to the doc next week--a little worried but may just be personal issues. Sorry guys if you stumble onto this!

Are you concerned about missed periods, or irregular cycles ... or is it spotting between your periods?? There's been a few posts on missed periods (you could try a search for more information). But the short answer is, yeah, exercise could be a factor. If you're on oral contraceptives and your spotting, that could indicate your body chemistry has changed & you might want to switch to a different type. I'm no expert - mostly learned this stuff thru personal experience. Talking to your doctor is a great idea. He/she will want to know stuff about your cycle (date of last period, length, whether the flow is heavy/light, family history etc) ... any and all of this information is really useful, so it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Chin up!!

It's great to exercise and follow a diet but give your body time to follow as well. Try eating some flax seed oil and slow down a little and see if your body will be okey. You still got your periods or has it stopped completely? Don't worry it's quite normal for us very exercising girls..... -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

It hasn't stopped completely--I think it may be combination working out and hormones. I'm off to the doctor tomorrow and will see what he thinks. Thanks all--embarassing topic but covered well...
