Missed Period??
Posted: 02-27-06 05:58am

Over the past 6 months ive lost 35 pounds, putting me at 5'2" & 100 lbs.

I thought that was a healthy ammount of time to lose the weight..And im not underweight..

So why didnt I get my period this month? I know im not pregnant. Ive never missed a period before.

I guess im just a little worried, because ive only been able to eat around 500-800 calories a day..This has been going on for the past 3 months.

Am I in danger if I keep eating like this? Even though im not underweight could the way ive been eating stop me from having my period?

I knew someone how was anorexic and she is now infertile

v basically what happens is ur body doesnt get enough food so it doesnt have period because it saves the food

eat more and do more exercise instead of starving

definately seek medical help it may be serious

Yup, can be worse for women. If you don't eat enough, have an ed, throw up etc, any of that related to ed it can result in your not having periods at all.
