Well, I used to be anorexic so I know a lot about this. Your period can actually stop, which leads to other problems. It throws off your hormones so badly that you can develop fibrocystic breast disease (benign lumps in the breasts), and acne. I had a problem with both of those, and when I started eating again the problems went away.

Long term fasting can totally stop ur menstral cycle because it often leads to you becoming malnourished, underweight, and anemic. But fasting on occasion and for only a short period shouldn't hurt u.

when there is an abnormal amount of weight lost or gained, it disrupts hormones and also can trigger a rise in estrogen levels or a decrease in them causing your monthly bleed to become irregular. so be careful.ie] i had gastric bypass surgery and for a year i was told to use condoms because the hormones changes are drastic that every kind of birth contol is ineffective but condoms! i was 150% fertile.!!!!!!!!! so eat sensible and be safe.

It can cause it not to come because there are not enough nutrients in the body to allow the uterine lining to build up as it usually does.

If you deny yourself food for long enough, your period will not come untill you gain back some weight.

it can actually stop it, your body begins to starve and has to keep that blood inside just to keep you alive. stop fasting, its stupid. eat right and stop obsessing.
