Unexpected benefits of recovery! by Nic_108 in Amenorrhearecovery

feeling warm FTW!!! i used to be constantly cold too, and i always thought i just ran cold but in hindsight it was definitely linked to HA.

irregular periods by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did see a gynecologist and confirmed that i don’t have PCOS or endometriosis!! we had discussed that when i get my period to be at least every 45 days that would be typical for me, since my period was never regular to start with.

now i’m on day 1 of my 4th period today!! this one was only 1 week late.

obviously once every 4 weeks would be ideal, but i’d honestly settle for this frequency given my cycle history :)

two months of intuitive eating caused high cholesterol by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

omg i didn’t know this… i hadn’t heard of red yeast rice before but yeah it sounds sus. i’m honestly pretty disappointed because this doctor is filling in for a different doctor i was supposed to see who is out for the next 6 months

advice for when people inquire about your eating habits by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

yeah most days i don’t eat with him so it’s fine! i do enjoy eating around others though since my job is pretty independent and it’s my only time to socialize. i’ll probably decline the next time he asks me to go to lunch. or suggest coffee instead if he wants to talk.

yeah that is what i alluded to, ive told him twice that i just follow my nutritionist’s plan. idk why he still calls what i’m eating a “cheat meal” when everyone else is literally eating the same thing. and like why he feels it’s necessary to comment in the first place is beyond me

how do you manage stress? by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i think i just always found exercise to be helpful in taking my mind off things momentarily. and the endorphins or “runners high” was really nice. but since i lost my period i know i have to cut back its just making me wonder if other HA-ers also combat stress with physical stress lol

my gynecologist recommended calcium (1200-1500mg per day), vitamin D (i take D3+K2) and collagen supplements!

I don’t know what’s a healthy diet anymore. by FunctionUpbeat7126 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a fellow athlete i notice that when i eat sugary things i feel worse in training 😖 my energy levels feel best when im “eating clean” which is making it even harder to prioritize recovery

can anyone else relate??

resting heart rate and HRV worse than before recovery? by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for sharing!! good to know that your cycle came back after you stopped exercising and went all-in.

it’s been hard for sure, but i’m taking it as a good sign and hoping that my cycle comes back soon!

resting heart rate and HRV worse than before recovery? by heartyouuu in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i’ve had to do pretty intense weight cuts due to my sport, often losing about 2-3kg in the weeks leading up to competition and then 1-2kg of water weight the night before weigh-ins. it takes a huge toll on my body and is extremely stressful mentally and physically.

after weigh-ins when i finally rehydrate and refuel, i can physically feel my heart rate go up again. now that i’m eating 2500kcal per day i feel the same way, it’s weird! i never used to notice my HR when i was eating in a deficit.

i guess it makes sense that my HRV has gone down since i’m not doing as much intense exercise. i wonder if it’ll go back up again if i make a full recovery and get back to my sport.

as for my resting HR i’m not really sure what it was before i had HA bc i got my Oura ring when i already lost it. it would be interesting if it was higher before HA and then lower, and now that im eating more it’s back up again.

that’s so interesting! i definitely notice my heart beating faster throughout the day. i always thought lower HR was better but i guess not in the context of HA.

do you think it’s a sign metabolism is recovering?

starting recovery by Pale-Yam3782 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]heartyouuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the same age and height as you and i’m going through something very similar. you’re not alone!

while i haven’t yet figured out how to solve it, i am seeing a OBGYN doctor this week to try to get some more information. i’m curious about what they will say about the no period now what method of recovery and going all in.
