How To Fix Irregular Periods? - #59820
I am really confused about my body right now. Lately, I have been dealing with these irregular periods and it's freaking me out, honestly. They’ve been all over the place, like one month it’s a no-show and the next it's just a few days late. On top of that, I have been losing weight without even trying! Like, I was never overweight, but now my clothes feel looser and I don’t really understand what’s happening. Is this normal? A friend mentioned that irregular periods could be related to weight loss, but I’m not sure how that works. I have read some stuff about how stress and diet can affect your cycle, but I thought I was eating okay. I mean, I thought I was, but maybe I’m missing something? Also, is there any advice on what kind of exercises could help me, like, get my periods back on track? I just want to feel normal again, you know? And it’s kinda hard to focus on anything else when you're worried like this. What’s the best way to handle these irregular periods and weight loss? Any tips or insights would be super appreciated!
