Hey Lizzy!! I can definitely relate to the period issues, I lost mine in 2007, got 2 cycles in 2011 and just last week got my first natural period in 5 years. Im older though so I am not sure if this will 100% apply since I had 10 years of periods before I lost mine and I assume you've only had about 2-3? Your also still growing being so young so dont be afraid of gaining weight for your health, your body needs the nourishment!! If you have time research Functional Hypothalamic Ammenorhea (sp?) it gave me a lot of good information! |

2 months ago, I just had enough started eating desserts brownies to be exact and it didnt stop there went for icecream etc, got my BMI to 21 (had to suck it up that I need to weight 130 not 120's to menstruate) but its worth the health benefits my skin is shiney and my hair grew and got my first period last week!! Oh the moral of the story all of this happened after I turned 30!! In fact I ovulated for longer than I did when I was in my early 20's so 30's shouldnt be any more difficult!! Good luck it totally can happen all!! |

Just wanted to share that I am in the exact same spot as you all! In fact its sometimes so depressing to get pants because they fit everywhere then depending on the time of day are super tight in the stomach area. Aside from ED recovery, not really sure if I have any food allergies, the only dairy I eat is in the form of yogurt. I chalk it up to slow digestion from years of being not so nice to my body. PS I also eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies which certainly doesnt help I am sure. |

tryhard and rue yes! I know exactly how you both are feeling, my original ED issues came after I was laid off and out of work for 3 months, it is then that I was home bored and became so focused on my weight ugh! Now I am in the same pattern and its frustrating when food/weight/calories are on my mind from waking up to going to bed. Sometimes I cant even get through a whole movie without fixating |

So happy I found this thread! I thought it was just something I was going through! My biggest problem and I hope to god someday its over I cant go an hour, half hour without thinking about food in some way. How much I love it, hate it, what im going to eat what im not going to eat! It makes me crazy sometimes! While I am glad to not be ammenorhic, cold all the time and dizzy, I dont know how to stop constantly thinking about food! I also wanted to add that I think my binge foods are so out there! Although I read the one girl who ate diet swiss miss (I eat them all the time) |

Oh my gosh hunny! a BMI of 14.4 is severe malnutrition to the point where you ARE doing inreversable damage to your body!! I know you know all this but your killing yourself, and we can only lose and abuse our bodies then gain back so many times before your body gives up! |

Orlaith and Miss renee! I totally understand your concerns actually infertility is what ultimately made me decide to get better, I was 27 (not in a relationship or anything mind you) but when I went to my gyno and asked her about it since I had not had a period in 3 years she started talking about how I would need donor eggs etc etc This was my driving force to become really agressive about recovery, and I am happy to report that I now menstruate, ovulate and see a new gyno so while I still am not quite ready to have a baby I have the normal cycle back. But I understand your being upset and frustrated!! I was awfully worried too (I even joined an online infertility support group!) You do need a BMI of at least 20, well my case 20.5 and now 21. Good luck with everything! If you ever want to talk message me! |

Hi Turtleblues!! I can say I shared the exact same concerns as you, infertility, osteoporosis etc! Anyway, heres is a little quick background, I lost my period in 2007, from a very restrictive diet, I still ate but limited it to very few fat free foods. So I know its hard to hear be patient and it will come but it really will, I mean mine took 3 years!

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
