Default Weight and AF Questions

Back Story: I have always been thin. I was d/x w/ pcos in '99. The last 5-7 years or so, I have stayed around 125 lbs and I am 5'6" tall. I am in the military and with eating well and exercising regularly I have maintained at 125. For the last 16 months, I have been in the process to adopt my son and I quit working out for the military. Since March the adoption hormones (they do exist, similar to pg hormones), took control over my cravings. I believe that due to the stress, I started eating more junk and quit working out. Anyways my weight has crept up to 132-135. This is not a lot, I realize.

However, once I hit about 130 lbs, I have noticed that my period has become more regular. The only other change that happened at that time, was a new girl started working with me. She is on bcp and I started following her cycle pretty closely. Now that we do not work together, for the past 2 months. I have stayed close to regular. Also I am looking to try to loose the extra 7-10 lbs.

So my questions are:
1) Does more weight, help thin pcos girls to stay regular? Or am I just imagining it?
2) Or is it more about the other girl and our cycles, syncing up?

Any ideas or similarities? Thanks!

I would doubt that it is just synching up with the girl you work with. I know a lot of girls have that happen, but it's never happened to me. Each person is different, but maybe you WERE too thin and that gaining a little weight helped get AF to come back. Theoretically, a 5'6" person should weigh 130 and up, so maybe those few extra pounds did it for you.

I don't know, but I'm thin (5'7 and 127 lbs) and when I was ovulating on my own, I was around 123-4. Then I gained a little weight and my cycles got screwed up. When I started my tennis season a few months later it seemed as though my cycles were getting somewhat regular again. So with me it seems like when I lose weight I get more normal.

Which is not that great because I don't want to look like a skeleton!!

I guess I should add that for my family I consider myself to be bigger, my family is EXTREMELY thin so who knows
