Getting Your Period Back with hypothalamic Amenorrhea - Grace Fueled nutritionI lost my 10-year period: How to get your Period Back NaturallyJune 20, 2020 by Officially 2 years of having a healthy and regular cycle! Today I am sharing my healing journey and how to recover your period back naturally if you have lost it. Since eating more food, working less, complementing and educating myself, I discuss the things I have learned in the way and what helped me. We've been celebrating two years since I've recovered my period and I've had it since! Although that might not sound exciting for some, it is a great milestone in my life after not having a cycle for 10 years. I am so passionate about this issue that I wanted to write a post as I know that many women struggle with it. If you're not familiar with my story, you can check it out. That post is a very deep look in my diet and lifestyle for the last 10-15 years of my life. For a shorter version, I did not have a regular period for 10 years – I was in birth control in 2006 when I entered the university. My cycle was never very regular and that's almost the solution to go to the doctors today. In 2008 I decided to get out of birth control as I didn't like how it made me feel and was coming out of a serious relationship. For the next 10 years, I fought with food and fitness. I was very restrictive in my food and my excess exercise. I also lost 20-25 pounds in the next few years. Although I was never officially diagnosed with anything, now I know it was over-exercise and drastically eating (hypothalmic anorrhea). Running 14 miles a day, going to softball practice, and playing intramural sports while eating some yogurt and granola, fruit, and a vegetable salad is not added. Oh, and maybe some peanut butter so I wouldn't go to bed completely hungry. I also loved to eat on weekends to compensate for all the food I didn't eat during the week. This cycle of restriction and linkage continued for years. Since 2008-2013, I had no period. The next 5 years (2013-2018), would come randomly, but perhaps only 15-20 times over those 5 years. The importance of your period To be honest, I liked not having my period for a while. There is no need to buy tampons, not worry about me interfering with my social life, and being able to be sexually active without worrying about getting pregnant. The thing is that your monthly cycle is extremely important – it is your monthly report card. When you don't have a regular cycle (being in birth control is not a regular cycle and a fake bleeding), your body is telling you something. It is turning off that function because it is not safe and uses that energy for more important things, such as breathing and digestion. Having your period is your body telling you your hormones are working. That you feel safe and you are able to play. It's the way your body tells you about your overall health and whether it's healthy or not. I know they're bold statements, but when you really think about it, it's true. The same happens with the symptoms of your period. I suggest reading for a more complete explanation of your period and hormones and how not having your cycle affects your body. It wasn't until a couple of years ago when I was about 30, I realized this wasn't healthy, and if we wanted to start a family one day, I needed to look to fix this. Note – we're not trying to get pregnant right now, but I think it's important to have healthy hormones regardless of whether you want children or not. How to Retrieve Your Period Naturally Receiving Your Period Back is not an appropriate size for every approach. There are many reasons why we can't have a healthy cycle, but there are a lot of things we can do to help get it back. While everyone is different, here are the things I did to help recover my period: Eat more food, especially carbohydrates and fats, and stop food restriction Our body needs food to work. It needs the energy of the calories you eat to perform not only basic functions, but things like playing with your dog, making dishes, and running a few kilometers. So I have experienced myself and through, many women are under eating. We are constantly told to eat less and work more. That only takes you to the moment until your body catches and stars you. Trust me, I've been there. Carbohydrates provide a good source of energy, support our microbiome, support our immune system, provide fiber to help eliminate waste, help with the activation of thyroid hormones and have benefits for our period. The amount varies from person to person, but I would say that most women need 150 grams of carbohydrates a day for a healthy cycle. Low-fat diets can cause problems with women in the long term. One of the main roles of fats and cholesterol is to help regulate hormonal function, especially estrogen and progesterone. We need healthy hormones to have a healthy cycle. A minimum of 60 grams of fat a day is usually a good start. Most women need 1800-2000 calories a day according to it! Then you add that you're working on that. And from what I found, many women under eating. Make sure he was eating enough by tracking my macrosWhen you're under eating for 10 years, it's very difficult to break that mentality. Tracking macros has helped me so much to ensure that I am feeding my body properly for my level of activity and lifestyle. It has also helped me so much in my freedom of food and to learn that all foods can fit in. In me, I work with others to help them learn this too. While this approach may not be for everyone, it is a great tool to use and is the eye opening to the food we are eating (or not eating). Decrease my exercise, especially HIITI loves endorphins, drip sweat, and feel like I die (wtf?!) in high intensity exercises. The thing is, too working (since it is a stressful in our body) can have a negative impact on our body, especially if we are under eating and already stressed. Now I do bodybuilding exercises and low intensity and I feel much better. Listening to my body If I didn't want to exercise, I wouldn't. If I wanted to eat pizza with my husband, I would. To be in tune with your body and not just push through a training or eat salad and chicken because you think it should be a change of game. More than likely, your body is telling you something. Reducing tensionWhen going along with what I said earlier, stress is a huge factor in our cycle. Have you ever been late in your cycle and realized you've been very stressed? It's not a coincidence. Stress impacts your hypothalamus, which is your master hormonal command center. If you're too stressed, your hypothalamus reduces your signals to the pituitary, which helps with ovulation. Less signaling means less ovulation. Stress also increases cortisol and a chronic high cortisol level can lead to HPA dysfunction (also called adrenal fatigue by some). If you can, try to reduce stress. Whether it's work, home, family, business or not. Running my own business is very stressful, but doing things like disconnecting from work/social media, getting out, walking, getting out in the water, reading a fun book, and cooking are super beneficial to me! Educate me Learn more about healthy cycles, the female body and hormones have been so helpful. (picture above) is a great book to learn more about cycles. It breaks its cycle and hormones, which is a healthy cycle, the effects of birth control and how it is not a period, ways to cure its cycle, and more. I think everyone will benefit from reading this book if you have your period or not. I do it often and even send it to my nutrition customers who are fighting. Currently, I do the fertility awareness method and have even more data on my body and hormones. (you can use that link for $15 discount) has been so beneficial to learn when I am fertile, the duration of my cycle, and know my own menstrual cycle. Also using nutrition as a holistic approach – I'm studying to be one and dive into how food is so powerful to help heal the body. This brings us to seed biking... Seed Cycling I have an entire post in , but it is a natural way to balance your hormones through food and has done wonders for my body. When I had my first period 2 years ago, it was a guessing game for when my next one would come. My cycles were about 37 days and sometimes quite painful. But after years implementing these things and seed biking, they are now about 28-32 days and are quite without symptoms. Many women struggle and have difficulties with their menstrual cycle. This includes cramps, breast tenderness, painful periods, acne, irregular cycles, heavy or light bleeding, PMS, infertility and more. These symptoms are usually our body telling us that there is some kind of hormonal imbalance. Eating the right seeds through your cycle phases (follicular and luteal) can help improve symptoms and balance your sexual hormones, leading to a healthier cycle. Supplement Food and lifestyle is such a powerful tool, but supplementation can also be very beneficial. It's definitely not a unique size that fits every approach, but these can be great options. Working with someone experienced Back to 2018 I didn't know what I know now and working with someone with experience can be very useful! After years of knowing I needed to change, I needed someone there to help me on the way if I was really going to change. To help me increase my food, listen to my concerns, and have experience with hormone balance. There are a lot of nutrition coaches or RDs out there who specialize in this. I even help women with this now! Help me for helping me on my journey! Telling me this is the best thing for my body Of course eating more food sounds easy, but what happens between our ears is very difficult. Knowing that while I used to be 20-25 pounds lighter, it wasn't my healthier or better me. When we reverse the diet and add food again, there is a chance that some weight gain will happen. And if it does, it's your body telling you it has to happen to get to a healthy place. This has definitely been a struggle over the years, but the more and the more I feed well, raise heavy weights, and have a healthy relationship with food and fitness, the more I love my body and appreciate how strong and amazing it is. Foods that help you recover your period back I touched this up, but carbohydrates and fat are really important for a healthy cycle. As I said before, most women need one day! Then you add that you're working on that. This list definitely doesn't stick at all, but here are some things: Carbohydrates: Healthy fats:What I ate to recover my period My diet is different from your diet, that's the cleanest of bio-individuality! Many of the things I ate are on the previous list. By counting my macros and adding more food, I have to enjoy so many things that I have restricted for so long. Some of my favorite things I ate to recover my period were all potatoes (white and sweet!), white rice, oats, bananas, bread, full fat dairy, cheese, coconut milk, grass meat and seeds. I also completely executed my food freedom and started to include things like pizza, bread, pancakes, muffins, ice cream and desserts when I wanted. Having these things when I really wanted to have led me to a better relationship with food. How to get your period back conclusion In general, this is what I found to help me recover my period. It was a long journey, but once I started implementing these things, my body thanked me for it. I didn't just have my period and I'm continuing my period, but I also live a much more balanced and sustainable life. If you fight your period, you know you can do things to fix it. These are simple things that could have a big impact. They will not guarantee that the period of the whole world will return, but it can be really beneficial for many women. And don't wait until you want to have kids if you have period problems. These things can take years and have a healthy monthly cycle is a great way to have a look at your overall health.

Related PostsFiled Under: , Tagged with: , , , , , , , Reader interactions Sarah, are you still aeed consistent cycle even after balancing your cycle? Yes! I've been doing it all the time for about 2 years. My cycle is better than ever and to be honest, I'm a little nervous to stop since I don't want that to change. I'm sure someday I'll stop and I'm sure it would be okay, but right now it's right in my routine so it's easy. Shirley, that's great. Thank you so much for sharing this post. Clomid helps me regulate my periods. So happy La The typical start dose of clomid is 50 milligrams a day for five days, starting on the third, fourth or fifth day after your period starts. You can expect to start ovulating about seven days after you have taken the last dose of chlormid. I hope this helps. Hi Shirley, I haven't heard of clot but thank you for sharing! Danna Beltran! I'm experiencing the same problem right now and I don't know where to start. I'm trying to eat more to gain weight, but I'm also afraid of winning bad fats so I'm doing force exercises. What exercise/exercise can I do to have my period back but won't earn much fat? Any help would be great. And thanks for your blog I learned a lot. More power! Danna, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. If eating more (which can be so beneficial to our hormones), I would suggest slowly adding food. Anywhere 50-100 calories every few weeks to allow your body to adapt to it. You can add a little bigger meals to your dish at meals. Strength training is going to be the most beneficial – it's lower intensity in our body (not like HIIT), which is what we want when trying to balance our hormones, and also good for body composition. When we have more muscle, our body usually burns more throughout the day. I hope that helps! Happy to answer more questions and I hope you have your period back soon! Emily Hi Kelly, I haven't had a period in three years. As soon as I got out of contraception I never had a cycle. Your article is great and thanks for sharing your experience. I've also had a very bad adult acne and I suspect this is related. I just started taking adaptives, maca, magnesium and zinc as supplements. I haven't eaten milk or meat in two years and basically my diet is all food. Like a lot of vegetables. Do you have more pointers on supplements? How long did it take you to get your cycle back once you decided to try? Thank you. Emily Emily! Those are big supplements to start! Vitex can also be useful if none of the dietary and lifestyle things you try are working. I speak from above, but the Vitex should only be used for a short period of time. I'd also make sure you're eating enough. While we want to get a lot of whole nutrient foods, many of them can be low calories and not enough food in total for a whole day. Once I started trying, it took me about a year, but everyone is so different! Celeste lin you have social networks Yeah, I'm on social networks @eatthegains! Ritupriya Hi.. it's been 5 months since I lost my periods and I'm very afraid I want it back.. but I don't want to leave my exercise because I love you.. what should I do? I had been cutting my calories a lot and I think so I lost it help.. Hi, Ritupriya! Everyone's so different, but if you think you're eating, you probably are. Little by little I'd add some calories and see if that helps. As for exercise, you can still exercise, I would only be aware of the intensity and quantity you are doing. Exercise is really good for us, but we also need to feed properly for it. So if you add some food, that should be fine! Emma Hello, have I lost my period for about three months now any advice on how to get a period back in the fastest way possible and without gaining weight? As if I were to increase my oil and avocado consumption a week, would I get it back next? Thank you. Unfortunately, it doesn't come back quickly for some. I'd make sure you're eating enough and not working too hard. Sometimes you have to gain weight to get your period back so your body sits in a safe place. If it makes it necessary, I would add little by little the food not to gain excessive weight. A little larger portions can help, and fats and carbohydrates are important to our cycle. You could also try seed cycling if you want! Vitex can be a good supplement taken during a short period of time as well. Agnes! I'm 16 and I've lost my period for 4 months. It happened because the diet I made before was too strict. I'm so sorry now! After much research on the Internet, I decided to try to eat more and not exercise for a while. I've earned 0.4 kilograms for now. I wonder how much weight do I have to gain to recover my period? Thank you! Hello Agnes! I'm sorry to hear you lost it. Unfortunately, it's hard to say how much weight you need to gain. I weighed the same weight now and had no regular cycle (because I was under eating). What you need to concentrate on is making sure you're eating enough. It is really important to eat carbohydrates and fat for your cycle. Dietary fat and cholesterol are precursors of our sex hormones. The addition of some high-quality carbohydrate sources and fat can help – things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter pumpkins, whole grains, avocado, salmon, olive oil, seeds and other things are great and are whole sources of food. It doesn't have to be much at once, but adding something in or some amount every week can help! I hope that helps! Esther Hi, I've lost my periods for about four months. What can I do to get it back in a month. Hey Esther – it's hard to say when he'll be back since I don't know his background. But I would read through the mail and see if you can do any of those things to help. Make sure you're eating enough and limiting stress is super important! Seed biking can be useful along with Vitex (for a short time) if you want to try supplementation. janette hi kelly, I lost my period around the end of this summer, so it's been about four months. I had an intense volleyball training during the summer (3-5 hours for 4 days a week), and I don't think I was eating enough. Now with school, I stil has practice and sometimes do high work exercises, but they are in reasonable quantities. practice is not intense, and I do not do hygiene exercises that often. I don't restrict, and definitely like at least 2000 calories/day. I've lost about 12 pounds this summer due to training, but I can't win it even with eating normally. To be honest, school stress probably plays a big factor too, but I'm not sure what to do. Hey, Janette! I'm sorry to hear that, but don't get too discouraged since there are things you can work on to help. Looks like summer was pretty intense since the trainings since you lost so much weight. Since it doesn't sound like you're so active anymore, I'd make sure you're eating enough. Most active women need more than 2000 calories, and it sounds like you're young and very active! If you need to gain some back weight for your body to feel safe, I would gradually add the food. A little larger portions can help, and fats and carbohydrates are important to our cycle. And you're right, stress is huge. I know you can't help it, but if you can do some things that bring you happiness (read, go out, play with a pet, laugh... whatever), it can be really beneficial. Your body probably felt stressed this summer too and may take time to reset (which takes its follicles for about 100 days to mature, so problems can still persist for a few months on the road). You can also try seed biking or simply add more seeds to your overall diet (these are good healthy fats). I hope that helps some! I completely understand that you are not a doctor and not prescribing anything, but what form of magnesium did you use? And with respect to the vitex, how often did you complement him? Have you done any blood labs before? Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, your story is inspiring! Hey Kristine! Thank you so much and thank you for reading it! For Vitex I only took it for a consecutive month. I'd recommend 3-6 months max. For magnesium, I take citrate, but the glinate is also really great! He took my blood a handful of years ago and everything looked good. I didn't do any labs when I started working to recover my cycle so deep that I knew it was probably from my food/diet and exercise. It's not a bad idea to do yet! I hope that helps! Thanks, Kelly, your job was so encouraging. Praying you have a safe and healthy 2021! Thanks, Kristine, you too! sophia Hello Kelly, first of all, thanks for sharing your experience. I have lost my period for the first time last year in December for three months, probably due to weight loss (unconscious). Then this year after I was vegan I lost it again, and now it's been 4 months since my last period. I stopped running, and now I'm including eggs and a very small amount of dairy. I've never had such a swollen and swollen face before, so I guess it's because of my missing period too (although all the hormones and vitamins in my blood tests are fine) Did you experience any change of face/body for not having your period? No, I don't think I did, but we're all different. If anything, it was much more swollen and swollen in the hormonal control of birth. Since you change your diet, I'd make sure you're eating enough food and getting enough food. I know you said you were doing blood work, but it's easier to become vitamin and ore deficient when cutting whole food groups. This can definitely affect menstrual health. Anna Hey Kelly! So I haven't had my period for a month and I'm very scared. I do HIIT every day because I don't want to recover my weight I lost and I think not enough through the day. Idk what to do because I still want to work and remain in shape without gaining weight. Hey Anna, I think you seem to know you need to raise your food a little. You don't have to add much, but try 50 or more calories to start. When the decompons, that's about 2 or so bites of food, and not much. Look how you feel and then add a little more. It can be a slower process if you are worried about weight gain. Besides, I'd suggest a little exercise again. Maybe giving you 1-2 days off a week. Your body needs time to recover and too much high intensity exercise can be a stressful in the body, especially if it is already stressed. By adding days of rest, your body will thank you and feel much better entering your trainings. Or you can change one of the HIIT classes for something lower impact. I hope that helps some! Sha Hi Kelly! I haven't had my period for 4 months. I'm so scared. I'm also on a diet to lose weight because I really want a flat mummy, so I don't want to gain weight again. I've been doing some exercises, but now I've decided to stop because I thought it would make my body stress. I still include fruits, vegetables and a lot of protein in my diet. I'm a little scared to take carbohydrates and fats as you can earn my weight. I'm 15 by the way. I hope you'll help me get my period back. Hey, Sha, it's very important to eat carbohydrates and fat for your cycle. Dietary fat and cholesterol are precursors to our sex hormones. Nutrients such as sweet potatoes, winter pumpkins, whole grains, avocado, salmon and other things are great and are whole sources of food. As hard as it is, we need to put our health above the goals of body composition. If we're not having a cycle, it's a sign that something's not right. Working outside can also become a stressful if we are under eating. I suggest you remain active, but low-impact things like walking or yoga can be useful. You can also see in the seed cycling, as I have a full article in it – Anonymous hello, Kelly. I am 15 years old and I am experiencing the same thing that many people in these comments are. It's been four months for me. I've lost about 5 pounds in the last 6 months eating a low-fat and low-carbohydrate diet. Like tons of fruits and vegetables, and lean protein (a lot of white meat chicken and whole eggs). Also not as dairy as I am lactose sensitive but take calcium supplements daily. My percentage of body fat and bmi is normal and normal before losing weight. for additional reference, I am very short (5'1) but the 5lbs lost has not made much of the physical difference in me (and I am not too thin at all!) I lost my cycle after losing only one pound, do I have to recover my initial weight to recover it? I don't want to gain weight since I haven't reached my weight loss goals yet anyway, but I want to get it back because I know how important it is for my health. So I'm on my way here. What advice do you have for me? Should I talk to a doctor or work to fix this myself? I don't want to have to track macros or calories unless it's absolutely necessary and I don't really want to gain weight as at my short height it becomes very visible. In addition, not about exercise at all, only once a week I do force and cardio training with some other light activity throughout the week (walking, stretching). Please help me get out of here any way you can, I'm very worried and I want to fix this before it takes permanent damage to my bone health!! Thank you. Hello! I'm sorry you're going through this. I understand about being short (I am 5'2′′) and gaining weight as it is different for someone who is much higher. Having said this, I have been 20-25# less than I am now without my cycle and also the same weight I am now without my cycle. We have to be in a healthy weight, but many other factors also enter it. Looks like your diet could be more than one factor. It is really important to eat carbohydrates and fat for your cycle. Dietary fat and cholesterol are precursors to our sex hormones. Although we do not need to count macros, simply add some sources of high-quality carbohydrates and fat can help – things like potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter pumpkins, whole grains, avocado, salmon, olive oil, seeds and other things are great and are whole sources of food. From my personal experience, when I didn't have my cycle, my doctor tried to put me in hormonal birth control, which is just a band help for the subject. This is just my personal experience, but I think it's important to find the root cause of the problem. You can also look at the seed cycling, as I have a full article in it - - has been useful to me! Liv, hey, Kelly! I just wanted to thank you for this post! I have been on a journey to try to recover my period since the summer " has definitely been a can opener! I loved this post so much. Your experience in the past with food and exercise reminds me of what I've been through, especially with the years of feeling so private! I cut all HIIT, now I just stay with bodybuilding routines with a lot of rest between, as well as making sure I'm eating a carbohydrate source right after my training (yes, even while I'm stretching and doing my post-training meal). My coach worked me up to an inverse diet & now eat about 2,400-2,500 kcal per day. Apart from the training and the food, I left one of my two jobs and now I find time to literally lie down and watch the TV where as before I always had to multi-task 100 things in the haha go. I have put in weight but I know what I had to do, I am just trying to be patient " confidence in the process. Thank you so much for this article, I'm saving it and it gives me more hope! Greetings to you " get your period back ♥- Liv Hi Liv! Heck yes, I am very happy to hear that! 2400-2500 calories is great! It sounds like you've made a big progress and actually doing things to align with feeling much better. Waiting for your cycle to come back soon! Joy Alvarez Hello, Kelly! I'm 17 and now it's 4 months since I'm not back. Before, I used to drink a cup of boiled ginger after every meal for 2 days and recover my period; but I don't know why it doesn't work now on me. I don't think I was under eating and it wasn't that stress either; I used to have my training before but I decided to stop because I don't have the routine to continue since I'm studying. Any advice, please? Thank you and God! Hey, Joy, I haven't heard of the boiled ginger. You may not feel that you're under too much stress, but sometimes the body thinks you are. It's hard to say without knowing a little more, but I could try the supplements I suggested or add a little more food. Some people don't realize they're eating even if they're eating a balanced diet. I hope that helps some. Happy to answer more questions too. Hey, Kelly. I'm 17 years old and it's going to be 7 months so I don't have my period back and I've been hurting in the power of my left side and it's been going for 4 days it hurts when I get up from position or position of lie, but when I did a step or two steps it's almost the drop away, and there's blood in the tissue but not in the pads, I've been making tips. Hi, Joy. I'm sorry you're going through that. Sounds like you have to go to the doctor if you're suffering. I'd contact them because I'm not a medical professional. Waiting for you to find out! Kendy! I'm eating full meals again! I was wondering how long until my period comes back. since I've been eating more for a few weeks. I just want him back! So I know I'm completely healthy again Hey Kennedy - that's amazing! Unfortunately, it can take a while. At least I would give it a few months, as everyone is different, but you're definitely on the right track! Evelyn This post is very useful. I haven't had my period completely for two months (although it was very light before it was usually quite heavy) due to overexaction and under fire, and this covered many bases. I'm trying to get it back before I can damage my health more, and I want to be able to rest more and do more low-intensity exercise without fearing weight gain. Do you have any personal post or tips about exercise after / during malnutrition and amenorrea and healing your relationship with exercise? I want to move my body to stay healthy, obviously, but I don't want you feeling so connected to my power and weight. 🙂 You're the best! Hey Evelyn! I'm glad you enjoyed the job. I can definitely relate to the feeling that I needed to be working intensely every day and I also feel that I had to work to "do the food." To get my cycle back, I knew I needed to climb back in HIIT trainings as they can be a stressor for the body when they get exhausted and fed. If anything, my body was constantly inflated from them too. But I didn't stop completely because working is a big part of my life, and if I did, I would have felt like something had disappeared/said. I tried to concentrate on the trainings I liked, but without pushing my body to the limit. At that time, I enjoyed CrossFit, and I still did, but I didn't try to kill my body every time and I just moved at a rate that felt good. That helped me get into a training that I enjoyed, but I also don't feel like I'm running away/dead later. I gave myself more days of rest and time to recover while eating more too. I want to feel good and be strong in my trainings, and that means eating well for them. I can tell if not enough, my trainings suffer. With not spending so much time working every day, I have to spend my time doing other things that I also enjoyed, which was helpful! I think what is important is to realize that the best way to exercise and eat is one that I like. If I can't hold onto it consistently, it's not sustainable. We all go through different life stations and our bodies are always evolving. We want to be eating well and moving our body, but also enjoying the walk and life. Having a more balanced approach to eating and working has helped me not be connected to my weight, eating and exercises. I move because I enjoy it and want to be strong, it is important for my mental health, and it gives me "time of me" every day. Like many healthy foods because they make me feel the best, and I like to feel good, but also like pizza, I drink margaritas and a lot of other things I enjoy because they bring me happiness. I know my weight fluctuates and I've been 20-30 pounds less than I am now and I was miserable because I was obsessive with food and exercise. I weighed more and felt happy with the life that I am living than small and unhappy. I know that the best version of myself is one that involves me living a life that I love to live. I'm not sure that helps at all, but that's what I came to realize over the years. This is a great idea for a post though! Ava Hi, I'm a teen resistance athlete. I lost my period about 6 months ago because I lost weight. I know I have to eat more, and as I get excited about it and I get excited to work on it, everything comes out the window when the food is in front of me and I can't eat enough. Any advice? Thank you! Ava! I'm sorry to hear that, but you seem to know what to do. It can definitely be a challenge with food, especially when society constantly tells us to eat less. I'd try to choose the things you enjoy – that way you'll want to eat them! Also, looking for heatie-dense things like walnut butter, dressings, protein bars, or things like that can help. They can add calories quickly without taking too much space in our stomachs. Most people enjoy another spoonful of PB with their food too 🙂 hope that helps! Ashley Hi Kelly, I currently have PCOS and used to get my period at least every 3 months and since Spring 2020 not at all. My Doctor put me on progesterone in October to make me have my period that worked and now just take it in January I didn't have my period later. I just started seed biking but I'm very worried about fertility / my general health. When I ask my Doctor questions about this I feel pushed and things are not fully explained. Do you have any personal advice or thoughts on my particular case? I'd love to get things back naturally and I also want to have kids within the next 4-5 years so I'm worried. How long does it take for seed biking to help recover the period? Thank you very much! Any information is useful! Hey, Ashley! I would definitely recommend reviewing the book I linked – it is a wealth of knowledge and also talk about PCOS a decent amount too. Seed biking can be great and is a very natural way to help balance hormones, as it is only real food. Unfortunately, everyone is so different and there is no specific time period for it to work. I usually tell people to at least give it 3 months and also take about 90-100 days for our follicles to mature. I'm sorry to hear that from your doctor, waiting for you to find someone who listens to you and is on your side. I hope that helps some! Eliza Hey Kelly, I can really relate to your situation. I'm 26 years old and I just got back my period after 5 years without. I was a guy with wire, late-flowering type – probably didn't get my first period up to about 16 and was almost immediately put in the hormonal BC. When I got out of birth control at the age of 20, I didn't see another period until 6 months ago. I had a restrictive diet while I was very athletic but I have never been under weight, in fact I have always had a BMI around 25 (cut with muscle mass above average I suppose). It has been a strange experience because I felt for a while like an old woman passing through menopause – zero sexual drive, dry/hair skin, cold all the time. Now that my period is back is like I was a teenager going through puberty again (or perhaps the pubescent phase I never completed in the first place?) – acne, weight fluctuation, rampant sexual driving (lol) ... is a roller coaster. Have you experienced anything similar? Is it difficult to find anecdote information about this on the Internet, seems to be a rather unusual occurrence? Hey Eliza! I'm sorry to hear you went through that, but happy to hear that you've recovered your period. As you are getting your cycle back naturally, your hormones are expected to be a bit around the place until your body settles. Sexual drive will definitely come back and acne can be hormonal while your body is adjusting. Zinc can be useful for that. Weight fluctuations are natural throughout the month, as well as most women retain more weight in the water around their cycle. It takes our follicles around 100 days to develop, so it can take your period some time even out as it will be a reflection of what is going on in the last 3 months. It would give me time and I'd keep doing good things! leah may use vitamin d3 or need to be only vitamin d Yeah, that works great! I make vitamin d (d3) with k2 while complemented! Hey, Kelly. I'm 14 years old and I don't have my period in more than 6 months, I've added as many healthy fats as possible in my diet as walnut butter, avocado and salmon. I don't exercise every day and I also give myself rest days too. During the summer of 2020, I have worked every day and I have barely given a day of rest. I was under weight for a while, but I managed to get a pound back. I currently exercise about 4 days a week. I noticed about 2 months ago, but the next day there was nothing. I have 5'3. I don't restrict any kind of food and I'm pretty sure about 2500-2800 calories a day. I'm not exactly sure about my calorie intake because I don't tell. In fact, like a lot of food and even during the summer of 2020, I still ate a lot. I think it was during the other half of my first semester that I lost my period (perhaps due to stress?). But in general it would be very useful if you have any advice to help me recover my period because I care for myself both in the present and in the future. Hi, Allisha, I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I'm glad to hear you're eating all the food, but that can be very beneficial. Stress can be an important factor so trying to find things to reduce stress will be very beneficial. If we are stressed and constantly working, it can be a lot in the body. We need our follicles 90-100 days to mature, so sometimes it will take us a period of a few months to achieve all the changes we are making. I'd give her body time and see what happens. Seed biking can be beneficial to you to try as it is a natural way to help balance hormones for some. I hope that helps some! Try not to stress too much on him as that can be stressful on the body. Ruby Hi Kelly! My name is ruby. I'm 15 years old and I've been in anorexia recovery for 2 years. I came my first period after being in recovery for a while and although it has always been a bit irregular, I still have it for a long time. About 4 months ago I had a little relapse at boarding school and I haven't had my period since. These past few weeks I've been eating a lot more and I've been strength training to build muscle. I also love playing softball and my school season is about to start. I'm eating about 2400-3000 calories a day and I feel very good. I honestly hate cardio and I don't do HIIT, so it's not a problem. So far I have earned most of the weight I lost in school (only a few pounds), and my doctor said my weight and all my vitals look good and healthy. I've also had my period before about the same weight as now, which is confusing. I'm fine with winning a little more, but I'd like it to be mostly muscle, and as a athlete I don't think I can give up my sport or my strength. I can definitely take more days off and stuff like that. Do you think I can recover my period while lifting weights while I'm consistent with my food? Basically, should I keep doing what I'm doing and give it time? Hello Ruby! I'm glad to hear you feel better, eat more food and find exercise that works for you. I grew up playing softball and it's a great sport! You are definitely on the right path – you can still lift weights while you feed properly for your lifestyle. We simply need to feed ourselves for any training and the energy we are burning and make sure we're giving ourselves adequate rest days (I always suggest at least 2 days a week). It may take some time for your follicles to catch up with the new changes you've been making. It takes 90-100 days to develop so it would give you a couple of months to see what happens!
