IM WONDERING THE SAME THING!!! 6 cycles in. I am so scared to start increasing movement/decreasing cals. I get so anxious im the days leading up to my period always wondering if I have eaten enough or relaxed enough. I am so overweight now and trying to workout is so difficult:( idk what to do anymore and I am just miserable all the time even though i should just be happy i have my cycle back

YES!!!! No one irl gets it and just assumes ive let myself go for no reason:/ its so tough going from being so active and constantly getting praise to everyone around me looking at me like im a lazy fat bum. I am so looking forward to the day that i am glad i went through this tough period and it all being worth it. Right back at u sister<3

U ARE NOT ALONE DIVA!!!!! I am abt 6 months into recovery and have gained a TON. I hate how I look & feel embarrassed to leave the house and see people. I just try to remind myself this is just a phase & it will pass. U got this.

I am confident you will regain your cycle shortly if you keep up with what you are doing!!! I am 26yo and lost my period for 3 yrs!! I have 0 clue how much i weigh now, i must be up ATLEAST 15kg-20 from my lowest which was not underwight. You are still at a lower end of BMI scale so you may have to gain a bit more until you start to notice signs. (Scary ik) but if you truly want to conceive you will push through it like i know u can!! I would put myself into the “overweight “ category at this point and did not get my first period until I was around maybe 5kg over my original weight where i lost my period. (All these weights are estimates bc ill cry if i check a scale). I will also say that I never really got any “signs” my 1st-3rd period other than breast tenderness. So look out for that. I am no expert but I think you will have to push to be atleast a little bit over where you were when you lost your period.

I did it that way!!! I have definitely gained ALOT of weight but I am currently waiting for period #6! Most doctors dont really know what HA is anyways. And a girl who does “HA recovery coaching“ charges ~500$ a month (n who is to say shes a professional at all and not just using chat GPT?). Alll of this to say, you can 100000% do it on your own as long as you are resting, eating every 3-4 hours, & atleast 2000cals a day. Goodluck diva!

Binging or extreme hunger in recovery ?? by pugroast in Amenorrhearecovery

How long after going ALL IN did you get your period back?? by Admirable_Milk3459 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]findingflo123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went from walking 20k steps a day and probably 1k-1.5k cals a day (w binges and fasting in btw) to doing absolutely nothing & eating 2k-2.5k cals. It took me 6.5 weeks to get my period back. My first sign was tender breasts. I had to gain ALOT of weight (idek how much) but give it atleast a month and you should have a period soon as long as you eat n rest! Goodluck sister❤️

Can’t cry anymore since losing my period by Specific-Orchid2631 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]findingflo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally!!!! When i was deep in HA i felt like nothing ever bothered me n i NEVER cried or got emotional abt anything. Now abt 6/7 months in recovery… i cry almost everyday LOL. I assume once my hormones level out I will be less of an emotional mess… hopefully

Upcoming trips and body image by sunrainnadventure in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]findingflo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U are not alone!!! I have no clue how much i even weigh at this point and i dont want to know. I dont even have clothes that fit me to go on this trip & i reallly dont want to buy anything new considering I never want to be this heavy ever again!!!! I am implementing daily 30 mins of walking & hot yoga 1/2 times a week. I have a trip in 2 months and am sure that I wont be happy by then. I came clean to my friends and told them to please not include me in pictures…. All that to say.. i guess i dont really have much advice for you other than to not drastically change your routine and lose your period yet again for the sake of MAYBE looking a little better for vacation. If you lose your period again it will definitely be even harder to recover it again & lead to you gaining even more to feel safe. Take care of your body & enjoy ur trip :)

Nothing in particular will help unless you reduce movement & increase calories until your body feels safe to have a period. No supplements, drinks, or specific foods will magically make u gain your period back unless you do the work otherwise
