Im New And I Really Need Some Answers!!! Posted: 01-19-05 19:03pm
Hi everyone. Im 17 years old. I just
have a couple of questions that needs to
be answered and I have no one to answer me
so I decided to come on here.
I have been semi-bulimic on and off..
Like i'll eat but then purge it all out
after or maybe like an hour or so later to
get all the food out for like a year or so
now.
Me and my boyfriend have been having sex
for a while now and sometimes we use the
"pull out" method or the vaginal
conceptive film but ok lets get to the
point.
My period is suppose to come last week but
its a week late and usually it comes
within a couple of days but ive been
wondering if bulimia really affects your
period?
I dont know what im asking.. Im still
confused on what to ask.. But please help
me out and just give me some info I need
to know.
Thanks.
Bebi.

I don't know if this is what you have of
not, but yes eating disorders do affect
your period. You might just be late, I
don't know, but this is possible. You
might have a condition called amenorrhea,
which is the stopping of menstration due
to the body having too little fat stores
becuase of over-exercising and eating
disorders. Women need much more fat than
men for hormonal reasons, effecting the
period. I don't know what your fat
percentage is, but if it is too low, your
menstration may stop. Eating disorders,
not just bulimia, but anorexia cause this.
Interestingly enough, when one purges
after eating, he or she actually only
purges a small percentage of the food
eaten (especially if you wait). The rest
has already been digested! It does very
little in terms of fat loss and is
incredibly unhealthy for you and will be a
problem if and when you ever have
children. But to answer your question,
yes your lack of a period may be linked to
your eating disorder.

Honey you have got to stop. I did it for
5 years and I have ruined the way I view
food, i've ruined my esophogas, I have
heartburn constantly, I developed
homorrhoids as a result of few and far
between bowel movements, and the list goes
on. It's been 2 years and i'm still
suffering. It's not worth it. Stop
while you still can.

aside from your eating disorder, the "pull
out" method is not a safe way to prevent
pregnancy. His "percum" has sperm in it
and you could get
pregnant.

My boyfriend and I use the pull out method
and never once got prg. Until we planned
it.I didnt get preg til my first son was
six months and we planned it that way.
Pull out method works and being bolemic
can affect u in many ways
