For women living with diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a UnityPoint Health provider says research shows practicing intermittent fasting can help create regularity in menstrual cycles. It's not for everyone though, and certain people should not try intermittent fasting.

I definitely fasted for 2 to 3 days prior to my period and I noticed that I didn't have as much cramping or bloating or headaches

Hi. I'm doing my intermittent fasting for 15 weeks already and loss about 15kgs and i feel a lot better. My current weight is 83kg. Started my IF journey with 98kg. Before this my period cycle is regular and normal between 24-26 days from my last period. But this month I don't have my period yet.😢 Im so worried. Today is my 30th day. Means already 4 days late. I've already done my BTL so I don't think i am pregnant. Or am i pregnant or might there be other causes? For your info, currently i am fasting for Ramadhan and seems like im doing my OMAD (one meal a day since i just drink a glass of plain water during my sahur) and take low carb meals for breaking my fasting everyday. Before Ramadhan i was doing 16:8 and 18:6. Does this affect my period cycle?

I really hope you can reply. Thank you for your time😊
