Can working out make your period come late?

Question

I heard someone say that if you work out a lot it will make your period stop coming or come late.

Answer

Extreme exercise can affect our cycles, but we are talking extreme. Competitive level swimming, gymnastics, etc . Sometimes if our body fat is too low we won't have menses either

Answer

It has to be A LOT of exercise. I mean I have always been an extremely active person, and the only time I have ever skipped was in college. I was a D1 softball player, in season, on the road, and the stress of a student athlete. It's not a common thing.

Answer

My cousin was a track runner, has always been very small statued and never had cycles, to this day (she's about 35) she may or may not get one... just super small

Answer

Rarely, if anything it helps with pain.
