Yes, you will get your period back once your body is fuly recovered. It might take up to a year for it to come back after you've started eating more

I went through that. It took about a year and a half to get it back.
I would have rather it stayed away.

EAT!!!! I'm not sure tho, ask a doctor. But I would think a healthy diet would have a lot to do with it.

It went away because you lost so much weight that your hormones got out of balance. It will come back if you stay in recovery and your body realizes it has become healthy again. There is no set time table or formula, but it will come back,.

Congratulations on working on your recovery. The girls and women that I know that have struggled with this have taken up to two years to fully recover and have their periods in a normal fashion.

You just have to continue to eat healthy, take a multivitamin that has iron in it, the iron in your system helps to regulate your cycles.

You go girl, get healthy and have a wonderful life.

Its a scary thing. Been there. 93 pounds at 5'7 1/2 was not cute. I didnt have mine for a year. I guess i prolly had it like twice within that year. After i started eating right the next month it came back. Keep eating healthy. Youll make it !!!! Hang in there. :)

Just keeping eating healthy, and when your body fat level gets back to normal, your hormones (and periods) will, too. There's no magic number for the weight itself; it's really the percentage of body fat that determines how normally your sex hormones function. Some athletes who have normal body weight can have too little body fat, and it can stop their periods, too.
