Have my periods stopped due to low weight?!
Question: Have my periods stopped due to low weight!?
I am a 20 year old, 5'7'', 110lbs girl!. my BMI is 17!.8, and I do have anorexia!. I eat around 600 cals a day, and my usual cycle is 25-28 days!. I am 7 days late which never happens, and I'm worried that either 1: Im pregnant, or 2: my periods have just stopped!. any advice would be welcome!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It's quite possible that your anorexia and daily caloric intake have indeed caused your normal cycles to stop!. At your current height and weight, I believe your BMI would be a bit closer to 17!.2!. That puts you below the 18 that is considered minimum for healthy female function!. You are not eating enough calories daily to maintain even routine body functions, and are now most likely breaking down muscle tissue and bone!. When that process begins, the monthly period stops because your body simply can't support a pregnancy!. I suppose since you suspect pregnancy as a possibility, then the first thing you need to do is purchase a home pregnancy test and use it!. It should be accurate at this point!. I suspect it will be negative though!. Since you have admitted you are anorexic, I will spare you the lectures!. You already know your condition is a life threat, and know what you need to do!. If the pregnancy test is positive, you need to make some decisions along with your doctor as to what is best to do next!. If it's negative, you need to have a different discussion, although that is also to see to your own best interests!. At 600 calories per day, you are starving yourself slowly!. It can't continue like that for long!. My advice is to seek some professional help to get things under control, before it's too late and too much damage is done!. Nobody ever looks in the coffin and admires the skinny corpse, after all!. And they still dig a six foot deep hole, regardless of how skinny you are!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
It may due to your low body weight!. My aunty experienced the same thing!. She suffered from anorexia and bulimia and when her weight was at its lowest her periods stopped!.
If there is a chance you could be pregnant you should go and see your Dr!. Especially due to the anorexia as if you are pregnant your baby will need to be drawing nutrients from you!.
Good luck and I wish you all the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was younger I was 5'0 68lbs and would skip periods all the time!.!.!.!.but when I would get them they would last any where from 3days to a month long!. Was not until I gained 20 lbs that it stopped giving me trouble!. Being under weight is more unhealthy then being over weight!. Still suffer with being anorexic always will but you need to be very careful unless you want to have a short pain full lifeWww@Answer-Health@Com
Your periods stop when you become anorexic!. Your BMI is very low already!.
Are you awaere that you can die if you continue with 600 calories per day!?
I've been through it, and you will destroy your life with it!.
Eat normal again, aim for a BMI between 20 and 25 to ensure your body is able to function!Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK, obviously if you've had unprotected sex, then there is a possibility that you're pregnant and you may want to take a test, but you say that your anorexia and periods do stop if your weight is too low!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
