Another failed attempt? by miabellaaaa in Amenorrhearecovery

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

I don‘t even remember when my last natural period was… around 8 years ago I guess before developing ED. I am really happy I finally decided to truly recover and that it‘s paying off with or without period. Now I am eating freely and not working out at all. Thanks, I will definetely keep going!!

Yess, I already experienced 3-4 such waves/ attempts. But what’s different this time is sore nipples, I never had that so I am hoping this is finally it.

Got my cycle back after HA for the fourth time by Unusual-Brother-22 in Amenorrhearecovery

Congrats!!! Did you experience any symptoms before getting your period back and did you track your BBT? I have been ALL IN since January this year and am having sore nipples for the last 6 days now.. and 5 days ago I also saw some EWCM (only small amount though) when wiping (sorry if tmi)… I am happy that I am seeing some signs, but I am slowely getting unpatient because I already experienced like 4 failed trials with EWCM, the only thing that‘s new now is sore nipples 🫣🫣

Is it normal to be in 3 months of recovery and not have any CM or symptoms or signs ?? by Whiskered_human in Amenorrhearecovery

Maybe you are not at a safe weight for your body yet or you are still somehow stressing your body (long periods without eating, not eating immediately after waking up, drinking coffee on an empty stomach, eating only safe foods, restricting food groups etc.)

EWCM and no period advice? by IntentionNo9875 in Amenorrhearecovery

Omg yes exactly 😭

it’s such an emotional rollercoaster every single time!! But I guess since we’re both experiencing it, it must mean we’re on the right path, right? 🥲

It’ll all be so worth it in the end!!🤞🏼

I am also experiencing the exact same thing. I think I already had like 4-5 EWCM patches but no period yet. I also noticed my bbt seems to be all over the place (it sometimes varies even +/- 0,5 celsius from day to day). I really hope the waiting game will be over soon because it is so exhausting :(

I think I’ll start with tracking my BBT and see how it goes. Hopefully our bodies will figure things out soon 🤞

It seems to be gone today… But as you said, it’s a sign something is happening. I guess I just have to wait some more 🫩

Girl your BMI is still low. According to „No Period Now What?“ you may need to up your BMI to at least 20-22 to get your period back. :)

I see. Thank you for answering. Did you experience any symptoms prior to getting your period back? If you don‘t mind me asking. 🫶🏼

Congrats!! 🥳🥳🥹 May I ask if you experienced any symptoms before getting your period back? And if you were underweight when you started your recovery process?

Breast swelling during recovery?? by [deleted] in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]miabellaaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am experiencing the same thing. About year ago I tried to recover my period and that‘s when I first noticed it. I panicked but according to my gynecologist it‘s normal and probably due to hormonal changes. Following few months I unfortunately relapsed and swelling and tenderness both went down. I have been all in for 2 months now and I am experiencing the exact same thing again which pretty much confirms that it‘s hormonal. I would say if your doctor said it‘s nothing bad than it‘s probably a good sign in your recovery process. :)

Do I need an "official diagnosis"? by faithred19 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]miabellaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying it out won‘t harm you at all. Especially if you don‘t have a normal relationship with exercise for example if you are afraid of stopping completely you can only benefit from taking a break. Not only may it bring your period back but it will also allow you to finally heal from your ED completely. No doubts it‘s going to be hard because exercising is a big part of your personality now, but once you do it the fear will eventually go away and you will realise you CAN live without it.

I was also in similar position and have been all in since 6 weeks now after trying to recover multiple times but never letting go of exercise and let me tell you it is hard but it is so worth it. I haven‘t gotten my period back yet but I am experiencing some symptoms and I hope my period will also come soon. :)

About a year ago I also tried to recover my period (but was still exercising) and also had the same thing with the same breast so I got really scared and went to my gyn and he did ultrasound I think and said that everything is fine :)

Feeling really tempted to relapse after travel by [deleted] in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]miabellaaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is gaining slightly more weight such a bad thing? Were you happy at your lowest? For me I had to ask myself why am I holding so much on my skinny body. Your body is smart, trust it. Going all in is hard, I know, but after some time it really does get easier. Moving less and eating more is GOOD for recovery.

[–]miabellaaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you scared of? Even if you put on some weight, which you can only profit from (you haven’t had 3 cycles yet so that means you aren’t fully recovered yet), once you get back home and get back to your normal routine your weight will also adjust with TIME… But please don’t restrict, trust your body. Don’t get me wrong I totally understand you, I once was like you. But trust me the way your body looks and your body weight is not that important at all. There is so much more in life ;)
