Question: does a vegan diet affect your menstrual cycle?

I really want to become fully vegan, the only thing stopping me is my mum because she wants to wait till I have regular periods. Does a vegan diet affect periods? If not I can become vegan which I have wanted to do for years.

Hi Emily,

Yes, it can effect your periods if you eat a lot of soy products. Soy acts like estrogen to the human body so it could make your periods less painful. Other than that it is just a healthier diet. Your mother can do her own research on the Internet and she will see what I am talking about. I believe that you will enjoy being a vegan.
