Hormones, Menopause, and Periods Thread

[anon71262119]

Hey, I just read this response and thought I’d put it here. It might be helpful, or of interest to some of the other women.

Emphasis mine.

A lot of us have this problem, I think @Spock81 will loose her cycle somewhere around 120-125, so very similar. For me, it’s closer to 110 or below but I think most of us have a place where we’re going to start seeing hormone symptoms.

@planetcybertron

For the longest I always wanted to be a flyer for cheerleading (the ones that get tossed up into the air lol). Even at a very young age I developed rapidly, and along with that came a very large amount of dense-ness? I guess you could put it. I wasn’t fat by any means, but compared to other young girls I was…stronger looking?

The leanest I can get without starting to disrupt my hormones is around 125-130lbs. Back when I had eating issues, I think I experienced amenorrhea right at sub 120-115lbs.

I also sucked at running, basketball (I’m only 5 feet. Almost exactly.) I always came in third when I was on the swim team.

The only other sport I flocked to was gymnastics. Me being short and all, and rather stocky, I just used what I had to enjoy the sport.

As a power lifter, practically all the major three lifts in some form or fashion I can get a groove going. Deadlift is slightly challenging with short arms, but bench press and squat is such a breeze because my ROM is almost non-existent lol.
