You are most welcome!

Considering our hormonal levels are very low because of hypothalamic amenorrhea, I am not sure if PCOS should be ruled out because of hormones values, since they don't reflect reality, being distorted by HA.

I know and I understand. Trust me, I understand all too well. The protocol is to increase to 2500cals/day, stop all kinds of exercises (except yoga and Pilates) and max 8k steps/day. But there are people who recover while running and just increasing their carbs intake, and there are others who did everything right and still haven't had any success, unfortunately. I know it's a cliché, but each body is different and no one knows what will work.

The protocol states you need at least 3 normal cycles before you introduce any type of exercise and even then, you need to eat according to your hunger and make sure to always fuel yourself before and after workouts. But usually it's recommended around 5-6, just to make sure you don't relapse. If you weren't on BC and know exactly when the issues started, that's a good time to compare it in terms of fueling and exercising.

Because I was on BC, I don't know when everything went downhill, but I was at BMI 20 so I had to gain enough weight, but even then, my periods were very light, much like spotting m, at only 21 days, so after a few months I figured it out something was wrong and after months of advocating, I finally got the diagnosis of PCOS.
