Why have I not gone back to normal yet?

Hi I am 18 years old and two years ago I had a severe eating disorder and was hospitalized for months but recovered. I am now healthy and a healthy weight for 2 yearsand everything pretty much has gone back to normal except for one thing I havent gotten my period since I was 13 or 14(dont even remeber) anyways I had a blood test and the doctor says my estrogen is very low so I am going to take birth control pills for it why is my estrogen so low? Is it because my body is still going crazy or because I lost and gained weight so many times(o why ah before I was anorexic I was very overweight around 200 pounds at 13) and now I am 135-140 pounds and at my worst I was huvering around 100 I am 5’5. Is it because I exercise everyday(not excessively only 30-45) minutes or is my body just doomed and will never go back to normal? Any thoughts???

Answer #1

it could be because of your eating disorder?? my sister is 23 and she hasnt had a period since she was 14 years old but she is fine nothing is wrong with her and she still is abe to have kids she has a three year old and doesnt have periods strange I know. you should ask your doctor because he is more likely to know. good luck take care x
