And well I still have my period, granted it's a little irregular. So I was just wondering what is the average BMI girls stop having their period?

And it varies from person to person. I know some girls are really irregular and they're average, but some girls are regular and they are overweight. CarolineLouise Posted at 11:40 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Wait how do you find BMI again it's like your weigh times height or something and i'm not sure i think some of it depends on age? camillelong 26 Posted at 11:39 am on Sep. 21, 2008 do you mean stop having their period? and i dont know The Bartender Posted at 11:39 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Periods stop depending on BMI?
