I just recently saw my doctor for this same question and she said it is totallt possible for an overweight or obese woan to have irregular periods or even have no periods at all. She said it is still possible to get pregnant but would not recommend it due to the stress it could cause to both mother and child. Also she said that the periods would likely return to normal if weight is lost and exercise is regular.

No. In fact, your periods are usually heavier if you're overweight.

Actually, yes, but you have to be very overweight or morbidly obese. If you are this heavy than your doctor or gynecologist has probably already discussed it with you. If you are just a little overweight than you're definatley fine, and your period will actually be heavier than what is commonly expirienced.

Yes, menstrual cycles are a good indication of health and poor health can effect the menstrual cycle. If a woman is overweight this can have a major effect on the bodies hormone levels so result in loss of ovulation/menstruation.

No, being overweight will not prevent you from having a first period. In fact because fat cells produce estrogen, the current high rates of overweight and obesity are suspected of making girls start their period earlier than ever before. You should know, however, that excess fat and poor eating habits can affect your reproduction when the time comes.
