period after exercise?

Question

So I have PCOS, and didn't have a period last month. so I've started working out and day three of my diet/workout regimine (today), I've started my period. I'm technically early for this month. has anyone had this happen? a period after you started exercise?

Answer

This happens to me too! Working out seems to induce periods for me.

Answer

I have PCOS too and I used to work in a fertility clinic so I learned a lot from the specialist doctors, though my knowledge is a bit rusty now.
One thing I took away is that weight gain raises you androgen levels (the male hormones) which can make your symptoms worse; Amenorrhoea/anovulation (not having periods or not ovulating), hirsutism, acne, thinning of the hair, vocal changes etc.
And if you lose weight your androgen levels should decrease and your symptoms can improve or disappear.
So I’m wondering if maybe you had gained a bit of weight, missed a period, lost weight, and your period came back?
