Can gaining weight cause irregularities in my period?

Can gaining weight cause irregularities in my period?

Yes - it for sure can, so don't be too worried. More body fat means more estrogen is being produced; too much estrogen can cause heavy, irregular, and painful periods. Weight fluctuation can cause delayed or missed periods.
Yes. Body fat stimulates estrogen production so the more weight gain, the more estrogen. Too much estrogen can cause heavy, irregular, and painful periods. Gaining too much weight or losing too much weight can cause missed periods. Menstrual periods will usually restart after losing weight (if you are overweight) or gaining weight (if you are underweight).
