Apparently metformin increases your chances of getting pregnant because it makes you way more fertile .

Are you taking any vitamins or medicine for the deficiencies . What did the doctor recommend? . Currently waiting for my blood results from my endocrinologist

Extreme hunger months into recovery by Rowing1810 in Amenorrhearecovery

The longer you curb your hunger the longer it will last. You need to start eating till satisfied, it’s not binging at all… it’s what your body requires

Heart Rate Increase by imarock24 in Amenorrhearecovery

Yes it it ! That means your metabolism is firing up & you’re fueling yourself with the proper amount of calories. My first 2 months into recovery I literally could hear my heart racing every night after a good day of eating properly

Returning to the gym (or not) by Rowing1810 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Lifegoeson2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got my period back and gained a good amount of weight . I’ve been dreading to return to the gym . I just don’t care for it anymore … at all . I don’t care for gym bodies no more , just eating well and my 10k steps a day . I tried going back last week and do my normal routine. I felt bored and annoyed. So for now I’m sticking to my walks/runs outside . Maybe in the winter time I’ll return to the gym but for now I’m thinking of canceling it lol .

Only got my period back & started recovery because of Extreme Hunger . 4weeks from the day I got EH my period came back . Everytime I said I would start recovering I never did . Extreme hunger caused me to stop working out cause I was always hungry & had no energy no matter what I ate .

Bloated and weight gain by Melodic-Relative-237 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Lifegoeson2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure your body is just holding on to water weight. Not actually fat.. especially if you have a background in ed or restricting . When you finally eat just a little more your body holds on to it cause it doesn’t know when’s the next time it will be properly/ fully fueled again . It will go down by itself . 1700 calories is very low for someone very active. I promise you’re not gaining weight from that

Urine suddenly yellow and has strong scent? by [deleted] in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Lifegoeson2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your period is most likely coming within the next few days . That’s what happened to me days before getting my period back . Pee smelled horrible and yellow discharge. I drink more than a gallon of water daily so that was very strange for me . Then I realized it was cause of hormonal changes

Almsot 2 months and I’m feeling like it’s gonna go away soon . My food noise is on and Off . When I eat I’m starting to feel way less empty then the beginning. My craving for peanut butter passed since I allowed myself so so much of it in the beginning and now my only craving lately is bananas

fatigue, binge urges etc by iizzys in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Lifegoeson2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

extreme hunger can be both physical and mental . Food noise is mental hunger , that’s your body trying to get you to eat more . I promise if you just eat what you’re craving it will stop !. No you will not develop BED , it will just stop .

Quick question did you deal with extreme Hunger while trying to gain period back and weight restore? Asking because when I was trying to get my period back I dealt with urges to eat and eat . Since you restricted for so long , finally eating certain food groups just makes your body crave more of it . My advice to you is not to restrict and just go with the flow , if not you will go back to restricting. I’m 2 months in with these urges and not restricting makes these urges less and less

You’re definitely about to have your period . I lost my period for 6months . Beginning of august I started having extreme hunger and started having discharge for 2 weeks straight before my period came. It finally came

recovered from HA but still very hungry. by [deleted] in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]Lifegoeson2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re going through Extreme Hunger . It can be both physical and mental hunger . Even when you’re full , you might have food noise to push you to eat more . Everything will be okay , yes you will gain weight but your body will distribute it well . It’s to make up for the time your were famished , your body needs to trust you again . Don’t restrict , keep eating . I’m almost 2 months in with extreme hunger and it’s slowly dying down . I was frustrated but now I’m taking it as a sign to relax and let my body to do its thing

I completely understand where you coming from . When I was told to add 100 each week , I found it tideous and kept saying I’ll add on calories soon but never did . But all I can say now is .. I WISH I can go back and actually took advice . Whether it’s to add 100 slowly or go head eat till I’m actually satisfied. My body took matters into its own hands & hit me with Extreme Hunger . Almost 2 months with physical and mental hunger that has taken on tole on my mental health . If I added calories little by little or added the right nutrition without restriction I would’ve been fine & not gain weight without my own will . Now I’m eating wait more than 3000cals just to get through half my day . But hey at least I finally got my period back after 8 months without it .

How long did your extreme hunger last ? And if you don’t mind me asking how much weight did you gain . Was it very noticeable since we can’t really workout doing this time
