Could exercising cause my period to be late?

Strenuous exercise will definately cause women to skip periods or even miss them completely, but this is usually in very athletic women.  It could be the stress your body is experiencing since you were pretty out of shape.  Good luck.  Don't worry too much about it.  Your body's just going through a change, it will get better and you'll soon get used to it!  God bless.  Millie

Stress, pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, weight gain/loss, polyps, and cysts are some factors that can delay a cycle.

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

NO\nstress will make you be late.\nand a women's body changes as you get older and your cycle will change. Not to scare you but you should see a Dr. if you don't start soon.

There are many factors that can make a period late including pregnancy, medication, stress, hormonal imbalance, just to name a few.\nIf you feel that you are pregnant the best thing to do would be to to wait until 2 weeks after a missed period, and have your doctor perform a pregnancy blood test as this is more accurate.  If it comes out negative, then your doctor can do further testing to determine the cause.

Are you a runner?  If you are very active in sports sometimes you don't get your period.  Remember that getting your period means that your body is capable of carrying a baby.  So if you're underweight or you're too active, your body will think you are not capable of carrying a child so you won't get your period.

various things can effect your menstrual cycle.  for one, you won't have one unless your body fat is high enough.  stress can keep you from menstruating.  thyroid abnormalities can keep you from it.  try googling delayed menarche (menarche is the beginning of menstruation) and see if there is anything that sounds like you.  also, talk to your doctor or gynecologist.  some people start later than others.

Well, you could be pregnant, but it could also just be stress or even diet. Amenhorrea (not having your period) can be caused by many things. For example, if you are undernourished, your body will not want to expend energy on periods. Also, if you're stressed out, you tend to skip periods. Having said that, the wisest thing is to have it checked out by a phisician. Good luck.

yes stress can make big changes in your period, as can increased or decreased exercise.  heck, just be happy it's lighter for a change!

You're still in your teens, and women's cycles don't become truly regular until the mid-twenties. Your body may have just randomly skipped a cycle. Rapid weight loss or malnutrition can also cause a missed period. As you said, stress can do it too. Also, some illnesses (ovarian cysts or uterine cancer, for example) can do the same. That's a very unlikely possibility though.\n\nIf you're sexually active, take a home pregnancy test once your period is a few days late. If it's negative or you're not sexually active, wait another month to see if our period returns. If it doesn't, head to the gynecologist for a check-up.

It is an old wife`s tale. You should be able to lift most anything that you could while not on period.. \n\nThe reason you have a period is that your body gets ready for the egg to implant and makes the lining of your uterus soft and mushly like. When you don`t become pregnant it sloughs all that off and starts all over for the next cycle. Thus the cramps and bleeding. I don`t see how lifting anything would cause a problem. You could always ask your doctor or call a nurse.. Good luck and God bless {:-)\n\n<><

It is not uncommon to miss a period if you have lost a lot of weight. It takes your body a little while to adjust.\nTo be on the safe side however have a pregnacy test.

It's normal for your period to be late if you are stressed out.  You are probably arguing with your boyfriend more because your period is due.  It can play merry hell with a woman's body.  Don't worry so much and try to stay calm and your periods will eventually get back to normal.  Also, being on a contraceptive pill can regulate your periods.  They will be lighter and any cramping you experience will not be as painful.  Something to consider don't you think!

Yes, it can be normal.  It depends on many things.  A womon who does lots of exercise may have periods that are quite far apart, maybe several months.  I know one womone who runs at least 2 miles every day, and she once told us she goes without a period for several months at a time.\nIt is deferent for each womon though, so you should still see a doctor and make sure nothing is wrong.

Stress can cause you to miss your period. As long as you aren't having any pain or symptoms, you should be just fine. If you are really worried, go see a doc. I myself have missed my period before for 2-3 months at a time. I also had an increased amount of stress at that time as well.

Could be, if your period is late at any time it could mean any number of things including pregnancy, the only way to tell for sure is to get a pregnancy test done by your doctor. Other things to cause your  period to be late are stress and illness.
