hey, well im new to this board but have been in recovery for a few months now. i've alwas had a light period but when my ED started it completely vanished.. i've been eating normaly now since sometime in the end of July and it still hasnt come back! i'm worried that i've become infertile or something like that. also i'm having issues with sex cause if the condom would break then i wouldnt know if i was pregnant cuz my period wouldnt stop cus i don't even have it anymore! but hen on the othhand i might not evn be able to have kids.. this is annoying me so much and i would be devastated if i was infertile..im still fairly young, in my teens but i really need some answers :confused: anything would be helpful.

i'm sure you're okay. search back through some of the recent posts, because i'm pretty sure somebody else is/was having this exact same problem. (ie: they'd started eating more, but their period still hadn't come back) how is your weight? if you're still underweight, it might not come back till your weight goes up, regardless of the fact that you're eating more (which is AWESOME by the way).
anyway, i'm sure you're not infertile or anything like that. i think it just takes the body awhile to readjust, even if you are eating enough and are at a healthy weight and everything. i'd talk to your gyno about it though if you're really worried. she/he would definitely know more than me about the subject. but yeah, i'm pretty sure it'll come soon. good luck!

hey i have the exact same problem. my period vanished due to my ED, but ive been in recovery since mid-august and now im at a totally normal weight and its still not back. but then again, my hair still seems to be falling out easily, too. so, as jonistyle said, it will probably just take a while for our bodies to readjust themselves..
are you still underweight?
