I haven’t had my period for days; I’ve gotten used to these delays, but this time it’s really bothering me. My doctor friend said it could be that, but I haven’t decided to go yet. Could it be due to excess weight? Is there anyone else experiencing the same issue? Is the connection between irregular periods and weight really that serious?
I think it could be something other than just weight. Stress can have an effect, but there might also be a serious hormonal issue. Your doctor friend suggested it, so it’s best to get it checked.
Actually, these kinds of irregularities happen very often. At first, I thought it was related to weight, but it turned out to be polycystic ovary syndrome. So we can’t say it’s definitely linked to weight; other tests are needed as well.
How many days was your period delayed, for example? Was it always the same in previous irregularities? Have you started exercising or followed a strict diet lately?
I think you should go to an OB-GYN directly; they can see a lot even in an ultrasound. It will become clear if it’s about your weight or something else. Don’t wait and stress out like that 
Honey, these things cannot be ignored; you need to go see a doctor. Even if it stems from your weight, it’s hard to solve it on your own. If she were my daughter, I’d make sure to book an appointment right away.
But what have you done so far to lose the weight? Your menstrual cycle is like a sign of your health, so you are clearly putting your body under stress, and there will definitely be consequences.
Menstrual irregularities can be related to both weight and hormones. People who are overweight may develop insulin resistance, which can affect ovulation. However, a hormone test is needed for a definitive result.
I wasn’t expecting such different comments, thank you. I think I will make an appointment with the obstetrician. I’ve had irregular periods before, but this time it’s been 20 days, and I’m really worried
