Could this be why I'm gaining weight?
I haven't had my period in 2 or 3 months. Could that be the reason why I am gaining weight? Also I am really consions of my weight also. How could I loose weight?
Re: Could this be why I'm gaining weight?
It could be, but you really should go to your gynecologist and get checked out first. The ladies here are great at helping you learn how to eat right and exercise, but you might have something else going on that only a doctor can treat.
Good luck!
Maybe an obvious question, but could you be pregnant? If not, you could be missing your period due to PCOS, low thyroid function, elevated prolactin or many other factors that can also correlate with weight gain.
Agreed that if you are suddenly no longer menstruating and are gaining weight, you should see a physician to rule out a hormonal problem or other issue.
