Lost Period - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

I'm anorexic, and have lost my period for probably about 6-8 months yet. I am eating normal now (3 meals, 2 snacks) and have been for probably 2-3 months but haven't gained that much weight back yet or regained my period. I'm really scared about losing it permentaly. When can I expect it back and any tips?

I lost my period for almost a year when I was anorexic. The doctor told me how dangerous it was, so she put me on birth control. Since then, I have gained weight and get them on my own. Talk to your doctor and see what they recommend. It worked for me.
