    My menstrual cycle has never been regular, but it went really wacky when I lost alot of weight. After dropping some 60 lbs, during a period of about a year, my menstrual cycle took a break for about 18 months. It only returned once I had gained back some 20 lbs of the lost weight. Your body does not realloy want you to go through something as calorically intensive as pregnancy if it is not sure that you are starving.

    There are other reasons why women have irregular menstrual cycles, and most of them have to do with the health of your reproductive organs. If you are quite sure it is not pregnancy, you might want to get checked out for possible causes of your cycle's irregularity, such as endometriosis which is a gynocological disorder where a piece of your uterinary tissue (endometrium) becomes attached somewhere outside the uterus (such as in your tubes or on an ova). This can cause severe pain and very irregular menstruation. You can find out more about endometriosis at http://www.endometriosisassn.org/.

    You should visit your ob/gyn regularly and they can help you learn more about your reproductive health!
