Has there been a time when you’ve noticed changes in your menstrual cycle?

Have you noticed changes to your period cycle during the pandemic?

My period has changed from happening the typical 28 days to happening a lot less frequently, I’m exercising more than before (thank goodness for an indoor spinning bike my boyfriend and I purchased at the start of the pandemic) and also not eating as well… I need to make some changes back to my more regular routine.

As it turns out, most women will say that their cycle has changed during the pandemic.

It’s true that lifestyle changes can impact our period from changes to how we sleep, eat, exercise, and our mental state all affecting our cycle.

During the pandemic, our lifestyles have certainly shifted, a lot of us a more sedentary, we’re not exercising as much, our weight is fluctuating more, some of us have been sick, all of these factors can affect our cycles.  Our period cycle is a good way to look at our overall health, and if our periods are a little off, we might need to sit back and reflect on why that is happening and what we can do about it.

As difficult as it is right now, you want to try to get back to your pre-pandemic lifestyle, eating healthy, trying to exercise regularly, and walking around a little bit more (even if it’s just around our houses as we work from home).  I know I have way too many snacks at the house now and I need to cool it on my munching during the day.

And if your cycle is completely different than what is was before the pandemic, if your cycle is lasting much longer than usual, has stopped, or is a lot heavier, make sure to consult your doctor for advice.  You can take advantage of all the telehealth happening right now so you don’t have to go into the office, and then your doctor will be able to determine if you should go in and see them.

Everyone is experiencing higher levels of stress right now, and that has an affect on your period and the timing of your menstrual cycle.  If you are going through a particularly stressful time, your period might stop or change from what is your normal period cycle.  All women are under higher stress, we’re in a global pandemic, so don’t beat yourself up with this, just know that there are things that you can do to help, like trying Jubilance for PMS, the supplement that can help with stress relief.

If you need a little extra help, you might want to try Jubilance for PMS, the clinically tried supplement that relieves the daily stresses and anxieties of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome).  When you need an extra helping hand, be sure to take one supplement each day to alleviate some of those excess worries.

So in conclusion, your period will definitely be affected by different changes to your lifestyle.  So try your best to maintain your routine, try Jubilance for PMS for PMS relief, and consult your OBGYN if you need medical help.
