Optimal weight: A very common reason women stop having menstrual cycles is because of body weight, either too high or too low. Maintaining a normal body mass index (bmi) is important for lots of other health reasons, but for some women bmi does impact their menstrual cycle. Other reasons you may have stopped having your period are thyroid problems, stress, some medications- really, a long list.
