Monymony, we must carry the same gene. I was NEVER regular like 2-4/year but the ones I had made up for the ones I missed
The Dr. told me after having a child I would straighten out, well, I skipped 5 months before getting pregnant (they loved trying to figure out my due date
), and after I didn't have one for 4 months. Same thing with DD # 2 and then four months later I became regular (1st of the month), this year due to the exercise, weight loss, and stress I started missing cycles again, so they put me on a pill OMG I started cycling 2.5 to 3 weeks a month
, now they are jump starting my body with a HUGE BC pill dose that lasted 10 days that will supposedly even things out again, I am coming off of it today (wow, weight gain, horridly high horomones, and pain, this BETTER work I tell ya!)
I also had two c-sections, the last with major excessive bleeding (it seems I have a funky vessel pocket that they cut) that had additional surgery requirements. Big Big hugs Girly
I totally understand your stress! Runners ofter skip cycles, or have irregular cycles from running, weight loss, and often poor nutrition (check what you are eating). I was a BIG runner for 6 years and this was often talked about in Runners World Magazine. It's called
Amenorrhea and there is an article online right now at

On a separate note, congrats on the bowling scores! I haven't bowled in years, but one of my friends asked me to recently for a night that the girls are away
Ellester: Work it girl! I know you'll be a fit, happy, healthy hot body by that 20 year reunion! You can do it!
I'm onboard the train ladies! Gum in my mouth chewing something besides bad, fatty, calories! Come on new year, I'm ready!
Bring it on! I can resist ALL temptations with the help of God (He knows why I am eating poorly) and my fellow Dis Peeps (friendliest bunch I ever did meet)!

It has a calorie predictor that tells you how many you need to maintain current weight. We'll see how it works.
