IF and period struggles

My cycles are like clockwork and have been for years. A couple months ago I really started being consistent with IF, with my eating windows being around 6 hours. I believe IF has definitely delayed my cycle and my PMS has been awful. Any other women have this issue? Did it resolve after a while?

Answer

I faced the opposite issue. After I started IF my period came quite well on time and I have PCOS too. But I did face that issue when I first changed my diet and started exercising which I believe was caused due to a sudden change to my lifestyle. IF is a big lifestyle change and would change a lot of things happening inside your body all of sudden. It could be a reason. Some people have said that some problems of theirs flared up and got better after starting IF. But i’m no medical expert and this is what i’ve experienced myself and saw from other.My suggestion would be to wait maybe a month or so to see how it goes and if things get too alarming consult a doctor to check for any underlying conditions without blaming IF. If things turn out normal and it’s still going bad then you can stop it if you’d like.
