Which bmi would you have to be in order to not have a period?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not sure: Some underweight women (low bmi) will not cycle yet others with the same bmi do. The same is true for overweight women - some cycle regularly and others do not regardless of their bmi.
