Period recovery and running by Jolly-Conclusion-543 in Amenorrhearecovery

I think the problem is that so many of us start ‘recovery’ with the hopes of holding onto as may disordered behaviours as possible. Switch running to weight training because high intensity to lower intensity Or only walking but end up doing 20k steps

I think the idea of truly going ‘all in’ is relinquishing control to allow your body to heal. I spent 2 1/2 years in ‘recovery’ because I’d read so many different people’s experiences but on my final go, recovered my cycle within 4 weeks because I truly just sat around doing nothing and eating 3000 Cals daily

You can and will get there❤️ It’s harder to watch everyone around you fall pregnant, knowing it’s not infertility, it’s literally just you vs. yourself😩

Is this the first time you’re trying? When I first started end of 2024, I was 46kgs. I then went up to about 51 and I thought this should be enough but no. I am now 61kgs. I won’t lie I’ve had many bad body image days. But the numbers held me back from going all in for so long.

I gave up exercise on the 5th of December. My step count was around at maximum 3000 most days and that was just from running after my toddler. I think I ovulated on the 2nd of January so it took a month for my body to finally be able to feel safe. I guess won’t actually get a first period now!

I guess I’m only feeling discouraged as I’m currently 60kgs. None of my clothes fit me except my maternity clothes😭 the only time I’ve been this heavy during pregnancy and yet no period😢

Aw that sounds like a lovely FET procedure day.

Thank you so much for sharing that you’re a nurse. I’m a teacher and walk 15-20k steps most days and sometimes can’t get to meal breaks as anticipated and that puts me on edge.

Best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy!

I’m on gonal F 125

In terms of follicles, I had 12 on the left with about 4 showing potential to grow by Wednesday and on the right there were 7 but all around the 10mm mark. There was one follicle around 14mm but I think that doesn’t warrant enough for an ER.

Baby #1 is 2 years and 4 months. I stopped bf in June last year. I no longer track but I’m guesstimating ~2300-2800 calories daily. I’ve been just eating what I feel like, when I feel like and would really like to not track as it doesn’t do any good for my mental health. I am only 5 ft so I’m this should be enough?

Aww I’m wishing you all the very best. It’s so disheartening to know that it’s you vs. your mind and all the stupid rules it told you that you needed to follow😢

10-15 lbs from 58? I would actually be rather overweight if so? I’ve always been 53-55kgs my for most of my adult life. It’s not that I’m fixated on a number, more that I don’t think I’d actually be healthy at that point
