Yes, unfortunately!. The hormones that control menstruation are easily absorbed in adipose (fat) tissue and that means your body isn't producing enough to ovulate and have your period!. It's being taken up by the excess fat!. It's normal but unfortunately this means that it's messing with other cycles in your body as well!. But, yes, it does happen!. Being overweight is also another reason as to why birth control may be less effective (for the same reason, hormones are too easily taken up into fat tissue)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well I do know when you have a significant weight shift, it throws your cycle off track!. Go to the gyno and maybe he/she will give you some pills to get your period started and then some birth control to regulate it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
