i'd started lifting heavy weights in the gym at the age of 13, a little after my menstrual cycles had begun. at that time it was a regular one month cycle. after around a year, i stopped going to the gym, and lifting weights, after which my menstrual cycles have been extremely irregular, occuring just around once in eight months or so, and then lasting for around two weeks. i was first told to 'wait and watch' for it to regulate itself. since that did not happen, i was then told to exercise evry day- any form of exercise- cardio, aerobics, and so on. for the past one year i have notices that whenever i introduce a new exercise regime, my menstrual cycles occur in around two weeks. if i continue with a strict everyday regime, the cycles occur once a month, but even a slight slack in exercise, like not working out for one week, is enough to throw the whole thing out of sync again. i have been exercising around thrice a week for the past month, but have not had my period this month
