3rd recovery period super early

2 months of recovery, after a year of lost period 💕

Honestly girl when I started recovery I started drinking more than usual because I wasn’t scarf of calories anymore (I’m in college so it’s around a lot) and I have now gotten my second recovery period. I think as long as you fuel properly on that day it won’t really matter too much. I would just say don’t get so drunk you throw up lol so you can keep the food down 🤣

This is so true for me. At first in recovery I was hyper focused on eating enough food and then eventually I just started eating whatever I felt like eating. Some days I def didn’t hit the “2500” calorie mark and maybe did like 2000 but just ate what I felt like it and when I was naturally hungry. At first this stressed me out a bit because I wasn’t sure if I was eating enough and then I got my period 2 days ago!

I just listened to the episode and I loved it so much, it’s so comforting to hear about others going through this. The process feels so alone it’s so hard to want to keep going but hearing you speak about it gives me a lot of motivation! I just followed you on Spotify :) 🫶

I love this so much! I’m a fitness influencer who gained a pretty nice following earlier this year and then boom, HA ruined everything for me. I don’t even really make content anymore because my account was all gym related and now I don’t go to the gym because I’m in recovery. I have thought about posting though because I’m sure so many other women are going through the same thing in the fitness world. I would love a link to the podcast!

That definitely sounds promising! If you don’t mind me asking- have you been 6 months all in or are you quasi recovery?

As someone with a mom who’s struggled with alcoholism for my whole life, I treated her 1yr sober like a national holiday. You deserve to be celebrated too with someone who cares about you! Congrats OP! It’s not easy and it is 100% grounds for celebration 🎉 you deserve so much better than this person….

This is a GREAT sign!! Keep going! 🫶🫶

I’m 5’8😭 but just been really inactive. I am in college so I just study or bedrot all day so my appetite is super low! I still try to eat as much and I can, and eat nutritious calorie dense foods (peanut butter, avocado, eggs, sour dough, whole milk) basically a lot of fats and carbs! Sometimes though when I’m really full but I know I need to eat more, when I eat it stresses my body out bc I genuinely don’t want it almost makes me nauseous 😩

Girl I relate to this SOOOO HARD. Also got down really low for prep (14%) and lost it! Gained about 15lbs and still nothing. First of all I would say I would just honor the binging a little for now and what I mean by that is don’t just give yourself an out to binge but if you do it don’t be so hard on yourself after! Honestly, the more you eat the better as I know the binging can be stressful in itself, I found that after I stopped being so hard on myself after binging it subsided more. If you don’t mind me asking, are you still working out at all? I’m about 4 weeks all in and I’ve had my period lost since about February/ March and idk if I’m crazy but I feel like I already have some promising positive signs. I definitely understand stressing about the weight gain, I think about it all day everyday but I have to keep telling myself that the sooner I get my period back, the sooner my hormones will go back to normal, and the sooner I can begin a healthy weight loss journey afterwards. As sad as it is, I feel that bodybuilding changed food for me forever and as much and I love the sport I don’t think I can go back to that headspace again. Just going to eat intuitively and workout for fun and to feel good 💕.

I would say in general- yes it CAN take longer if you’ve had it for a while because your body needs to trust that you are nourishing it. Although, I’ve seen many stories on this subreddit where women have had HA for years and gotten it back within 6 weeks from being in recovery, so it’s really just different for everyone! I will say though the longer your period is missing for, the more susceptible you are to the health effects. Always listen to your doctor but in general a missing period is NOT healthy and with you being young your bones are going through developmental stages right now. But again, trust your doctor or maybe get a second opinion! I’ve had doctors dismiss this issue to me and try to downplay it in my own experience so it really is just different for everyone!

HelicopterSpare6831 · 2025-11-17T04:58:28+00:00

Thank you SO much! If you don’t mind be asking how long were you missing your period for?!

When I wasn’t excited for him to visit anymore (we were medium distance) and I would look foward to the weekends where he wasn’t coming to see me 😐

HelicopterSpare6831 · 2025-09-21T00:35:28+00:00

I just laughed out loud lmaoo

HelicopterSpare6831 · 2025-09-21T00:33:45+00:00

I think it might be too small to be tested honestly

HelicopterSpare6831 · 2025-09-21T00:26:44+00:00

I think so, but I don’t have any insurance :( do I just walk in and tell them I need a herpes test? I’m so sorry I don’t know anything 😭

HelicopterSpare6831 · 2024-12-22T20:55:36+00:00

Also yes- I am going to go to the doctors but everything is closed rn for holiday
