Would my cross country training effect anything?

Question

I'm doing xc this year, and the past week we've been training 5 times a week for two hours. I really like it, but i was supposed to start my period a few days ago. I've heard this is totally normal, is that true?

Answer 1

yeah, its normal. i run cross country, too, and it alwys screws up my period. there was even a month where it just didnt come. but yeah, exercise screws it up. its okay though, you're still healthy.

Answer 2

yes I have heard that women who are very physically active will not have a period

Answer 3

it happens to me, kind of, except my periods are more irregular, not necessarily late. sometimes they're late, but sometimes not.  

Answer 4

yes sometimes when you start exercising more it can be late

Answer 5

I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with your period, but maybe your body isn't used to this work out. Or you could be pregnant.
