If you have a decrease in body fat, you may lose your menses.
Female Atheletes do all the time.

If you had a significant weight loss when you started playing basketball, that could trigger the stopping of your period. Women who weigh less than 98 pounds or have a body fat percentage of less than 18% frequently stop menstruating until they gain weight. It is your body's way of saying, "I don't have the reserves to maintain a pregnancy or sustain an infant." This is very common in women athletes.

Too much exercise can effect your menstral cycle. You should deffinately discuss this with an gynocologis though.
