Will my periods start again when I start eating properly?

I didnt have my periods since June now and it has been eight months. I undertand why I am not having them (because of my ED obviously) but I was just wondering if there is a possibility that I wont have them ever again or will they just come back when I start eating properly again? I am very confused and worried. Any advice will be useful :) x

Answer #1

Eventually after you get your body on track, and then it will fall into place. . . on your ED what is your height and weight and age? I have 12yr. old daughter and I get worried because she is so thin. . . But eats like a horse any signs to watch for?

Answer #2

when period come back seems to vary. just as when they leave varies. I’m guessing you’re still doing all your bulimic things? I lost my periods at BMI 19.49…I was fasting nearly all the time…doing anorexic things, but technically ednos. I got down to bmi 17, but then anorexia slowly turned into bulimia and I’ve gained weight. I think my bmi is about 24 now! yet I still have no periods. although that’s prob’ due to the fact my body is screwed and I have have PCOS anyway. most people would get them back sooner. I guess it depends on what damage you’ve done with your ED.

well, I dont like posting what my weight is, however I have lost weight but im not underweight (I have bulimia by the way) and I am 15 years old but had an ed since I was 12 well the signs to look for in bulimia is if she goes to the toilet very soon after her meal or if she leaves the house very often after a meal. also a large amount of food missing in a short time etc also there may be signs in the bathroom, like unually dirty toilet or any signs of the toilet being cleaned recently .. I dont know what else…oh and also if you think she might be throwing up her food, there may be little red marks or bruises on her knuckles.. but your daughter might be totally ok .. I have a brother who is thirteen and it seems like he eats ALL THE TIME but he is stick thin

hope I helped :)

Answer #4

Yes, thanx for the advice. . . I was the same way she is when I was her ager and not till I hit 35 sis it all go a lil down hill for me but yea I’m catching up now. . . I eat no pasta, breads are treat so rarely, no soda lots of celery with ranch or just lemon juice over em’, lots of meat, you need the iron, take care of your teeth while you are getting better use supplements for the vitimins you are loosing, like a multi-vitimin, callcium,iron etc. . Don’t want to preach . . . Take care youn one and keep your mind clear and focused

Answer #6

Well it kind of seems like that. Because I have starved myself for some time and my period never happened between it and I started starving myself in august and my first period started in july so its been a while and now that I’ve just got on track with eating 4 days ago my period started today! so yes your body pretty much has to be working properly and eating to get a period
