I am in recovery from about a 3 year
battle with anorexia. I have made a ton
of progress in just the last six months
but still have not had a period. I took
myself off the pill in may of this year
and that was the last time. I saw my gyn
and she ran some test only to find that my
body was making zero estrogen. I was
instructed to gain about 20 pounds, take
vitamins, and get to 20% body fat. Well,
I did my part and if you have ever battled
this disease you know how hard that can
be. I still have had no sign of a period
and am getting very discouraged. My
doctor has little patience at this point
because she feels it's all self induced.
I do not want to go on fertility
medication because my husband and I are
not to that point yet. Does anyone have
any suggestions or experience with this
part of recovery?
