: I haven't had a period since April. I am anorexic and I know that I am missing my monthly period because of it. But I am scared that I won't be able to have kids now. Am I in serious trouble? Should I be concerned? Please help, I am scared because I used to be regular.
You are on the right track but admitting that you have anorexia. If you are not getting help for this you need to go now to get help. Anorexia will probably not cause infertility but it may take you longer to concieve but until you start having your periods again and start ovulating you will most likely not be able to get pregnant. Anorexia can lead to lots of electrolyte and heart irregularities that can cause your heart to stop. Many famous people have died d/t this when they suffered from anorexia. The first one that comes to my mind is Karen Carpenter. Life is to wonderful to let it slip away from you this way. It takes all different types of people to make up this world and are most certainly one of those wonderful people. Good Luck.
