I have recently started taking hydroxycut, efedra free...about a week before I was suppose to start my period. I started getting tired, crampy and slightly nausiated...I thought it was either my period or the diet pills, or both. I am now almost a week late and, becoming concerned, I took a test. The test came up negative, but I still have not begun my cycle. I read that the ingredients in the diet pill actually have something that is suppose to speed up your period, so I do not know why it would be this late. I have another test to take if it's still not here yet...but in the meantime I am freaking out. I still have all the symptoms of a period but nothing for about two weeks!

Umm....... YES!! Almost everything you put in your body can alter your cycles. And most diet pills are harmful, I wouldn't recommend taking them. Its not safe and they can make your cycles stop all together.
Good luck. Use condoms before you spread'em, if you don't want a kid!

Ok, how quickly are you losing weight. Excessive weight loss can affect your period. You should be losing no more than 2-5 pounds a week. You need to make sure you are consuming at least 1200 calories aday. If not you could be placing your body into starvation mode at which time your period will stop. Weight loss is something that you should be very careful with. And diet pills are generally a last resort kind of method. My suggestion, stop the pills and see your doctor...asap.

yes, bc there are a number of things to be considered, do you have any health issues, are you over weight, was this recommended by your Dr. ? Just be careful.
