Yay! I got my third one in a row today! From what I’ve read that means I’m cured from amenorrhea!

Hi Godschild.

Congratulations, I assume this is pleasing news for you?

I haven’t had a period for well over a decade and before that I was on the contraceptive pill so never had a ‘real period’ during that time.

My oestrogen levels are extremely low but I would like to think that in time they will return to a normal and healthy level.

I wish you well

Peace x

Thanks guys (girls. And peace, yeah, that is good for me lol. I lost it when I was 15 and now I’m 18 almost 19. I used to have non-existent female hormone levels and my bone density was starting to suffer.

Gosh it’s so encouraging to hear all these stories of recovered menstrual cycles. I have not had mine for nearly 1.5 yrs. Are there any specific foods that are recommended for resumption of menses??

Thanks!

LEAP83,

I got my period back after a year of no periods during the holiday season- and I don’t think that was a coincidence. I’d stopped purging and was eating all kinds of good Thanksgiving/Christmas foods- turkey, mashed potatoes, pie, tons of cookies. I don’t think you have to be too specific about the kind of food, but make sure it tastes really good and is calorie dense. Desserts are my favorite, and I ate a ton of them around that time (still do!). Hope that helps a little.
