Personal question ladies (Shadow you've been warned, come in at your own risk)

low bf.

I was thinking maybe it was that... but wasn't sure, because I heard someone say that when your body fat gets lower, you stop getting it.

I havent had mine in forever.. i like it

Pardon my ignorance... isn't is unhealthy for a woman to not have her period?

 

[Miss24k]

hmmm ok.....

so when bodyfat is low, it can cause spotting throughout the month, or it can stop altogether?

Basicly is this something I should be worried about?

Your bodyfat is dropping but it isn't significantly low, e.g. <12%. The dropping of it may be the upset in your cycle. I'd wait to see if it happens again next month --- I really don't know if its a readjustment period that needs to occur or its just the significant change in bodyfat that is occurring all of a sudden.

either or.....there is no set rule to 12%...Ive seen a 10% woamn never miss a beat and Ive seen a 14% one lose it completely.....I think that it will continue to dwindle as the bodyfat goes

But 12% gives you a guideline. 15-16% is not where you would expect it to shut down.

Hmm i think the lose of a period is a great benefit

I guess my point is that she is w/n the range I have seen it disappear 1e - 13-14%


I also personally think the distribution of fat is as imporant as the absolute number
