Hi, I am a young woman barely out of my teens yet my periods stopped around 4 months ago. I went through a six month period of time where I was borderline anorexic with extreme anxiety. I dropped from 9st 6 to 7 St 13 in 3 and half months. I have since brought my weight up and have overcome most of my issues. The strange thing is my periods stopped 3 months into my recovery. I am not sexually active and I am a little concerned if I may have made myself infertile. Someone I know suffered bulimia for two years and had a similar episode of no periods and now can never have children. What do I do?

Hi Emcat😊
The medical term for the absence of periods is Amenorrhea, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
Missing one period is rarely a sign of a serious problem or underlying medical condition. But, if pregnancy is ruled out, Amenorrhea of longer duration should be investigated. See medicinenet.com>womenshealt...
For peace of mind perhaps you need to make an appointment with your doctor.
Best wishes 😊xBeryl
I suffered an eating disorder in the past too.
Don't worry, try to maintain a healthy weight, sometimes it takes up to 12 months for the period to come back I heard
