^^ whats the whole scientific deal with that, she stopped producing enough progesterone and estrogen to have her period?? does a girls testosterone level spike up when they work out too much? or did she take a testosterone injection? is she on steroids? have her balls shrunk? I need answers!!
and im surprised no one said this...but abstinence is the only safe sex!!!
My friend stopped getting her period (maybe once or twice a year) because she's a hardcore athlete.
I have a friend who went through the same thing. She stopped the whole hardcore thing two years ago, and even now she still only gets her period once every two months. Crazy!

have any of you girls experienced missing your period for a couple of months because of stress? =\
@predator: it is because it means her hormones are probably whacked and hence she isn't menstruating regularly.. but then again.. every body is unique so it might not be such a big a deal if it isn't causing her any problems?
As long as it's directly BC related I'm cool with it but it does seem to have turned into a period related derail now. Maybe that needs its own thread?
I thought so, but I was told in Grade 12 bio that it's fine! But that's Grade 12 bio...

I've skipped a month here and there. A year or two ago I was totally off and that stressed me out.
Crazy thing. My best friend was in Peru two months ago, and she got two periods in one month...literally two weeks within each other! It was something to do with elevation, but crazy huh!

yeah that is crazy.. @_@ i also had a friend who bled for 2 consecutive weeks.. and it wasn't spotting.. it was leaning towards the heavy side too.. i told her to go see a doc immediately cause i was scared that she would bleed to death..=x
In regards to people missing their period due to being super athletic, getting your period also has a lot to do with your weight. If you fluctuate in weight or suddenly gain or lose weight, it may disrupt the regularity of your period. I had my period coming every two weeks at one point -- totally irregular. I went to the doc and now I'm on BCP and it is totally regulated, yay!
And FYI: you can still get pregnant while having unprotected sex on your period. There, now all this period-talk is related to safe sex!

what of the safe and unsafe days where the sperm can't fertilize? I want to know more how you girls regulate this time of the month.
lol.. well predator it is a biological phenomenon that most females have to deal with in the next 40-50 years.. it wouldn't do us much good to think of it as embarassing and shameful.. =P

That is life time punishment. They seem mostly more stubborn than guys (no offense).
i know eh? hence why i always say.. god must be a man.. =P
God is the Almighty, whom we have no power to associate Him with gender. God is who, with due respect and fear, we worship Him, the most gracious and the most merciful. Period.
yeah...and girls are to bleed/cramp on a monthly basis? lol...gee i don't know about the gracious and merciful on that part.. i think i have every right to associate him with a gender when in fact it has already been decided way before my time.. noticed that everyone calls god a him but never a her? i'm just following the books..=)

But I am a male so I lack any real knowledge in the period area.

And yes, there are guys who will stick it in no matter what. Or they just enjoy the extra "wetness" and warmth that period blood brings.
