yea - sudden change in physical lifestyle often (if not always) has a noticeable impact on hormones and bodily function..... its normal - until your body becomes more used to it, it will take time to settle to a regular schedule..... women atheletes often have irregular periods whether it may be due to stress of an upcoming event, or simply the change in hormone levels.....

Hey, I had the same problem when i was 16. I used to be a competitive swimmer a few years back and used to keep note on a calendar when my next period was due. Some times it would take about 6 weeks or more after the last to finally arrive. I never had any problems so dont wory too much. Mine got into a good pattern a few years later after i stopped swimming.

tom [time of the month] will be bothersome and he'll barge in whenever he feels like, especially if he just came into your life. so, he'll come early, late, and he'll go and come back several days or weeks later. his annoying behavior is due to your hormones, not from strenous exercise.

Possibly due to the stenous exercise, see a doctor if you are really concerned or skip 2 or more months

Especially if you've dropped a lot of weight lately.
