why???

okay. so i have been gaining at a pretty solid steady rate since the begining of the summer.  At first i was gaining about 3 lbs + a week ..but now it has slowed down to 1 lb.  i currently weigh 121 lbs..and i'm 5'5 and i haven't gotten my period yet......how come...it just doesn't make sense.  i was 125 before the rapid weight loss..and that is my goal weight...but shouldn't i have my period back now.  everyone else gets theirs at this weight and even earlier.....errrr

This also happened to me too.

After I lost a lot of weight, my period stopped and even after I gained weight, it didn't came back. So I went to the doctor and she gave me birth control. (Sorry, I don't know how old you are -_-') Now I'm regular.

I'm not a specialist, but I think you should see a doctor.

well at the begining of the summer i was in the inpatient clinic at the hospital.  i currently get weighed and checked once a week, so i am always seeing the doctor.  every time i go they ask if i have gotten my period yet..and i'm always like nope not yet...i just don't get it..they said that if i don't get it by 125 they are going to give me a pill to see if my body is ready..to speed everything up...but i just don't get why i don't have it now......i shouldn't need the medication..cauase i should be able to get it now...idk.

It can take awhile.  It isn't so much what you weigh, but if your body senses if it is malnourished.  

It is very individual.  Some girls with AN never lose it, no matter what.  Other people who are very obese can lose it simply because they aren't eating enough.  So even if your weight is fine, if your body senses it isn't nourished right (not getting enough fats, or just not enough time has passed), you won't have your period yet.  AND, stress/ED thoughts can also keep it at bay.  So even if your body is 'healthy', if your thoughts are still disordered and causing you stress, that can keep it from coming back.

just be patient.  The 'pills' are just birth control pills.  They don't fix anything, they just are a bandaid and help protect against bone loss.

i guess i'm just frustrated..because i am eating like i did before-like i won't deny myself icecream or cake or anything...i'm eating like a normal person..and it doesn't bother me at all. i know i'm way healthier now than i was before..it's just annoying how i am doing everything the same..adn yet i don't have it...i feel like i have weighted long enough..haha
