late period due to heavy exercise?
Sun, 09-25-2005 - 8:25pm

I just recently went from 3 days a week only on the treadmill to 7 days a week treading, biking and lifting.  My period is one week and two days late.  Normally I wouldn't care but I have to take some medications on certain cycle days and get blood work done. 


Any idea if I'm being paranoid or if this is really a good reason to be late?  Any ideas on how to speed up the process?  PS I know for a fact that I'm not pregnant.  It's not possible.
