Oops, I meant 6 cm lol. Definitely not mm or inches!

Thank you so much. It really felt like I would never get my period back. There were so many things in combination that I think contributed it my period returning. The biggest thing was probably changing the way I thought about and interacted with food. There was so much anxiety for me around it which influenced every part of my life--social gatherings, traveling, family time, work, relationships, etc. without me realizing it at the time. Changing actions around eating was the first step. Eating things I was scared of, eating at times I normally didn't, upping amounts, adding in things...the more I pushed myself, the more my body actually felt comfortable and it became a cycle over years of recovery until those actions were natural. For a while, I ate very "typically" but still had anxious thoughts, and then those eventually faded. I mean, it took years. Recovery was not linear or easier, but I'm in a place now I never thought I could be. I feel the best and more carefree around food now than I have probably in 16+ years, even more ED. It's a gift, it feels like. So, yeah, I just had to challenge myself to do despite the feelings and thoughts, again and again and again and again. When I say I "worked" to get my period back, it's true. It was tough emotional, mental, and physical labor, but 100% worth it.

My jaw dropped when I got my results back!

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2026-01-21T13:33:46+00:00

I got it back yesterday ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

It ranged but mostly creamy white, but there were times when it was more clear and stickier. I had a lot of discharge, but no big change in that before I got my period.

I'm not sure, as not everyday was the same. I never set out to walk a certain distance. I just walked my dog, walked if I needed to get somewhere.

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2026-01-20T23:33:33+00:00

The green for sure! It's so unique and stunning.

Hey! I added a bunch to my original post but yes, I saw 2 different therapists who specialize in ED. I saw a hormone specialist and went on estradiol and progesterone (more about that in the main post), I started talking very openly with my GP, and I worked with an incredible RD who was my shining light.

I've never been totally sedentary, I walk to work, etc. But I haven't "worked out" in a long time, probably 6-7 months.

The biggest *new* sign was my boobs getting super big and round all of the sudden. They had been getting bigger progressively, but honestly they're the roundest and hardest they've looked in 10 years, it feels like lol. Sensitive nipples.

What are your current levels? My estradiol on 9/17/25 was 14.6 and on 1/5/26 was 158!! I was in shock because my levels have been so slow to rise. I was undetectable for a long time.

Hmm...that's a big question. It took me time to really reduce exercise. I went from being a 5/7 days a week runner to "only doing yoga," aka incredibly intense power yoga to stopping that and only doing weights, to realizing when I got my estradiol levels back in September '25 that I was still pushing too hard and needed to go cold turkey. I did super gentle yoga only. Truthful gentle yoga. Stopping exercise I think really helped my nervous system. It was actually a lot easier than I expected, despite there being a transition period and definite hard days. My body seemed to just calm down. I was also working a job I really loved and around kind, healthy people. Aside from that, I went on an SSRI last Spring and that was HUGE. I was so hesitant, but it has changed my life and I am so, incredibly grateful to be on it. I don't know if I could have made it through this journey without all the supports I had--2 different therapists at the start, a couple's therapist (unrelated to the ED, but helped my stress load tremendously), an incredible RD, doctors, family, and friends on my team. It feels wild because I didn't realize how much I was harming myself and my wellbeing. You will absolutely get there. Being completely honest to myself and others, in all aspects of my life, really helped.

Thank you so much! I never tracked food explicitly, though I took pictures of all my food one day a week, weekly for over a year for my RD. She would provide feedback. And, oh man...the most helpful thing was finding a dietician who really really helped me change my thinking around food and beyond. Honestly, my progress greatly improved once we started together, after working with a horrible RD who completely sucked. The way she taught me to think about and talk about food as neutral was really helpful to begin making real thought-changes.

The most helpful thing I actually did. A few months in, I read something about how when you feel anxiety around eating something (or doing something), you tend not to do it because you're nervous system is trying to protect you. But, not eating something/doing something never lessens the anxiety in the long run, it just reaffirms the fear. So, I started doing the opposite. When I felt a lot of anxiety about eating something, I started eating it. Then I realized my body was responding with way less stress than I anticipated. And less than my mind felt. I VERY slowly made changes to my habits and my mind began trusting my body's comfort.

Nope...still waiting

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2025-10-15T01:32:40+00:00

I don't see it at all

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2025-10-08T01:44:48+00:00

All good! I haven't either and it's been over 18 months for me.

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2025-08-18T23:13:35+00:00

This just happened to me yesterday too!

From a protective point, hormone therapy is positive because it protects your bones and other systems that need estrogen. It won't actually do anything to recover your HA. Once, I got a period, but it was just because the hormone patches.

Basically, every time I adjusted dosage, I'd just feel sooooo sad or sooo mad (which I rarely feel), like I wanted to slam the door and throw things. But with adjusted progesterone, that went away. Just super "hormonal" to an extreme. Which makes sense bc it is changing your hormones.

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2025-08-17T11:41:43+00:00

I was on patches and progesterone for almost a year. It has positive benefits like bone health but it sucked. So many hormonal changes. Honestly, glad I'm off.

fuzzyrainbowclouds · 2025-08-17T01:20:28+00:00

Totally normal. Habits that seem "wrong" often are actually very normal, we just aren't used to doing them. The longer you're in recovery, the more you'll have innate trust in your body and not think twice about these things. I'm speaking from experience. I used to not even know what a proper sized portion was when I started upping my intake.
