I've always had irregular periods due to being underweight most of my life but I am a little worried after this last period. I've just gained 4 pounds after a week of eating the calories i'm supposed to and working out. My period came early after 3 weeks which is normal for me but it only lasted for barley 2 days! I've never had a period that short and it kind of worries me if something is wrong. My mother says cysts on the tubes runs in the family (I cant remember the exact "doctor terminology" atm) pretty much they can keep me from getting pregnant and may require surgery if they are big enough. After 5 years with my hubby and no pregnancy I know I should get things checked out. I've always worried about my period just stopping due to being underweight and that's one of the main reasons why I've kicked my butt in gear reach a healthy weight. It's funny how all my friends and sister are on their 2nd or 3rd child and I've yet to have one. I overthink things a lot and worry about how my health affects my ability to have a child. I'm only 21 so I know I have time (hopefully) but any knowledge on this would be much appreciated.

Hi all! I have been doing great with my diet and exercise routines. I walk/jogged 6 miles last week over 4 days, which is up from zero. I've been eating healthy meals (with the exception of my birthday dinner) over the last two weeks, staying around my 2000-2400 calorie goal. (My TDEE for 2 lb weight loss is ~2400). So, imagine my surprise that after my awesome 8 lb weight loss, I'm now back at my starting weight. Over the last five days, I've gained back those eight pounds. I've been exercising, eating well... And I don't get it. One bad meal cannot equal this, right? And it wasn't even that "bad" - Not burgers and fries, it was scallops with parsnips - nothing was fried or oily. So, any clue what's going on? I know I've gained muscle, but that doesn't seem to add up.
