    Default high body fat%.. heavy periods?

    It seems like my cramps have been getting worse and worse each month and I can't seem to figure out why, unless the extra 10 lbs. I am carrying makes a difference. (I'm 5'6" 128lbs.) I used to be extremely lean back in high school and didn't even get periods (amenorrhea) once in a while because my body fat % was so low.

    So would that mean a higher % could be causing my horrible cramps?

    Your not carrying an extra 10lbs, and your body fat cannot possibly be high enough to cause menstral problems.

    Yes.. high body fat can cause problems...but we are talking fat people, which your not. Your perfect..

    As you get older, your hormone levels change. You could also have ovarian cysts or something.

    I would sugest getting on the pill. If you see a doctor for this, that's the first thing they will suggest as well.

    The pill will not only ease your cramps, but if you have any cysts, the pill is used as the first step in treating them..

    It's not necessarily high body fat %. I have always been anywhere from 98 to 110 lbs and I have had cramps from the onset of menstruation.

    It can be hereditary. Mine is caused my the development of fibroids.
