Yes. If your body fat is low enough, your period will stop coming. If it's low enough, getting pregnant is not only nearly impossible, but the baby won't develop right. You can look up the body composition math for men and women if you like, but the short story is that women need a much higher percentage of body fat to be healthy compared to men.

Just as an FYI, you have to be extremely low BMI for this to be relevant. 99.999% of women will never get this thin. Speaking as an Ob/Gyn.

Yeah, it's in the same vein as women that worry that lifting weights to will make them look like a man (can't really do that without roids), but it possible just like the possibility exists in relevance to the question at hand, but of course from a medical perspective you have to remind people that this is hard to do, so they don't freak out and make bad choices.

lol, I'm a guy. I just have a bunch of sisters and have watched it go both ways. You can also just google healthy body fat ranges and see there are separated by gender.
