Not really of any importance but I was just wondering as you do in the bath..................

How can flying possibly either delay a period,make you miss one altogether or bring one on early ?


I really must get out more.

I said  I must get out more !

But I think that I've got my head around what the hormones do in the cycle so how does flying impact on that ? 

I was never worried or stressed by flying but my period always use to go haywire when I was younger.

Don't stay in too long ladies or you'll prune.

Yep.  When women are housed together, i.e. Convents or boarding schools, the menstrual cycle will happen for them all within 4-5 days.  Can you imagine the impact of PMT in the week before 

Flying across time zones upsets the body.  I found when on holiday abroad even if I wasn't due a period, a change of water would bring it on 

I tend to read a Very Good Book with a cuppa in my bath

I suppose it's possible that it does effect periods. As I don't have them any more, I have no real idea.  OK assuming you're not pregnant, I found this article explaining how flying can upset your periods. Thank goodness I never trained as cabin crew, mine were irregular enough.
