OK, so I got it for a day, for the first time in like 6 months, on October 10th. Haven't gotten it since.
I have been back at a healthy weight (through bulimia/COE, not by choice really) for about 3 months.
At first I thought it was just normal skipping, because I got it when I was 12 and now I'm 14... and it's allowed to be irregular for the first 2 years, right?
That was back when I had no clue I was anorexic.
But yeah. I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should be worried. I might eventually want to have kids when I'm like 30. But at the rate I'm going idk
I guess my main question is, can you lose your period from bad binging (Mostly what I've been doing) and occasional purging (Very occasioal, only done it twice. I usually starve or exercise purge. Or nothing at all).

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If you want, go to your gyno and be honest with her. She may prescribe a low dose of birth control to get your period started back up. But mostly, I would recommend seeing a therapist and dietitian for your problems. You are worth living and to live well. /hugs Good luck.
You're just getting back into a healthy weight range. Chances are, you aren't going to be like clockwork right away. It can take time for the body to readjust. And you might have a new cycle. Not necessarily 28 days, but 63 or something. So long as you have one every three months you're okay.
Even then, you're still participating in ED'd behaviors, which will stress your system. When we binge, we usually aren't eating nutritious meals in between binges. And purging definitely wreaks havoc on your body. Even too little sleep can make some people late.
If you go another two months without your period, check it out with your doctor.
